Table of content
Japanese Encroachment 1931-45: The Struggle for Recognition 🍱
- What? Japanese occupation of China (1931-1941) stunted China's call for independent state status.
- So What? China asked the USA & League of Nations for help, but crickets 🦗... until:
- 1941: USA enters WWII! 👉 China starts getting global nods.
- 1945: Japan loses WWII. Big win for China & Jiang Jieshi 🎉.
- Fun Fact: China hit the "big leagues" by becoming a 5-member UN Security Council post-WWII! 🌍✌️
- Extra Bite: USA still saw Jiang's GMD as the "real" China even after it was booted from the mainland in 1949.
China's International Ride Under Mao 1949-76: From Suspicion to Handshakes 🚀
- What? Mao quickly spread Communist control in mainland China.
- So What? West was like 😱, thinking China wanted global Communist expansion.
- 1950: Surprise! China jumps into the Korean War.
- Cold vibes with USA 🥶 due to PRC non-recognition & other reasons like China's nukes. 💣
- Plot Twist: Everyone thought USSR & China would be BFFs, but... nope. Ideological spats & Mao's big personality created a Cold War soap opera!
- Drama Alert: 1969 - Sino-Soviet relations hit rock bottom. Near nuclear confrontation! ☢️
- Rollercoaster Ride: Mao was all over the place.
- Cultural Revolution: China is super aggressive 🥊.
- Later years: Mao chills out, eases up on West, wants to sideline the USSR.
- Big Highlight: Nixon visits Beijing 🤝. USA finally recognizes the PRC.
- Closing Scene: Mao dies in 1976. China still committed to international class struggle (but maybe with a bit less fire 🔥).
