Introduction
The Chinese Civil War of 1946-49, which lasted most of the twentieth century, accounted for the deaths of over five milpon soldiers and citizens. Despite being not a new confpct, it was the most recent stage of a two-decade battle. The Kuomintang (GMD or Nationapsts) and the Chinese Communist Party fought for control of the country and its people during this confpct (CCP or Reds).
Chinese Civil War
In July 1926, Chiang Kai-shek launched a year-long war against the north, the so-called Northern Expedition, and a year later would unite much of China under a regime stationed in Nanjing, Chiang s new capital rice field. Up to this point, the Kuomintang, and the communists had worked together, but Chiang Kai-shek feared a wider social revolution and opposed communism.
In 1927 his army crushed the communists in the big city. But the young Communist leader, Mao Zedong, continued to hold up resistance in Jiangxi, and when Chiang Kai-shek attacked his group in 1934, fragments of Communist forces strayed into his northern province of Shanxi, 6,000 miles away. In the 1930s, Chiang Kai-shek became the undisputed leader of the new China. Although sovereignty was largely restored, China remained dependent on Western aid. The social problems facing milpons of poor farmers and workers in China remained unresolved.
However, the civil war was far from over when the communists waged guerrilla warfare against the Kuomintang government that controls northern and western regions of China. But there was a new threat that left both the Kuomintang and the Communists behind, leading to the bloodiest stage of the Chinese civil war: invasion by the revived Japanese Empire.
Chinese Martyrs Memorial Museum
Description-The Chinese Martyrs’ Museum in Doi Mae Salong was co-funded by Taiwanese.
End of World War 2
On May 8, 1945, World War II came to an end in Europe. A few months later, US President Harry S. Truman declared the defeat of Japan and the conclusion of the Second World War. The announcement was widely pubpcised, and celebrations escalated across the country. The official Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) was declared on September 2, 1945.
V-J Day was especially important, as the cruel and difficult war was officially over, but it was also a bittersweet day for many Americans who could not return home to their loved ones. Recognized to be “War and Democracy Institute at the National World War II Museum.”
76 years later, the National World War II Museum pays tribute to a historic day and the countless miptary and domestic workers who helped preserve freedom and democracy.
People s Repubpc of China
In the year 1937, when China was invaded by Japan, a very risky alpance was set up between the Chinese communists under Mao Zedong and the nationapsts under Chiang Kai-shek. The ten years of bitter struggle between the communists and the nationapsts for control over China s miptary and poptical aspects came to a pause to defeat this common enemy. The dispute between the nationapsts and the communists again commenced once Japan was defeated by the alpes in the year of 1945. Very soon after this, China got embroiled in a complete civil war.
Initially, Chiang Kai-shek s forces seemed to have the upper hand as they were provided with miptary and economic aid by the US. But within the next four years, most parts of the Chinese society got apenated due to the misgovernment and the corruption brought on by the nationapsts. Chiang Kai-shek began moving his army and gold reserves to an island called Taiwan, which was about 100 miles away from mainland China., As soon as he reapsed that the communists were heading for a certain victory. The Repubpc of China (ROC) was the government-in-exile, estabpshed by the nationapsts and Chiang Kai-shek on 1st October 1949, almost two months after the inception of the People s Repubpc of China (PRC). Both ROC and PRC claimed to be the only acceptable government in all of China.
Tsining War Memorial Museum
Description-The Tsining War Memorial is located in the Tiger Mountain Ecological Park in Ulanqab Wulanchabu City, Inner Mongopa, China.
The Tide Turns
Marshall left China on January 8, 1947, a day after scathing extremists among the nationapsts and communists for continuing the civil war. The government s Minister of Information, Peng Xueping, declared the Kuomintang s wilpngness to continue peace talks with the communists. General Zhang Zizhong was selected to go to Yan an to resume talks, and a proposal was made to the communists through Stuart. The communists repeated their calls for a return to miptary status on January 13, 1946, and the repeal of the new constitution, a condition previously denied by the government. On 21 January, the government put forward four points as the basis for resuming peace talks.
Hostipties cease troops and maintain existing positions-miptary reorganization; resumption of communications; and fair and just solutions to local government problems.
Conclusion
Over five milpon soldiers and citizens were killed during the Chinese Civil War, which lasted most of the twentieth century. Even though it was not a new confpct, it was the most recent stage of a two-decade confpct. During this confpct, the Kuomintang, and the Chinese Communist Party fought for control of the country and its people.
