LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE'S REVOUTION!!

@1Mafioso4 I think China has kind of forgotten about the people and has become a little more interested in the dollar.

I've got to write an essay on how the CCP managed to defeat the KMT for a uni module and have found these videos to be a very useful and accessable resource. Cheers for posting.

@Janoslechner Thank you.

The communists never cooperated with the KMT to fight against the japs!! The communists were actually building up theiw power while the KMT is becoming weak from the battles with the japs!! The chinese actually favoured the nationalists but they were eliminated by the commies!!!

[warscholar1945]

@KMTchina Yeah. Kind of messed up. The communists let the KMT do most of the fighting and dying then took them out when they were weak. But that's war I guess.

I salute you American friend.

The part about Nanjing was omitted, but as Japan is America's ally, such omission is understandable...

Eisenhower in Taiwan was the second climax of Sino-American Alliance. America should have supported a KMT strike back during the late 50's. That could have saved America the trouble of Vietnam war.

Taiwan is an element of the Cold War, a part of George Kennan's China Isolation policy. Nowadays, it blockades PRC martime expansion into the Pacific.

@SHUTUPNOOB654

The communists were a sham who utilized deceit, sheer luck and nefarious retention of their troops during the Second Sino-Japanese War in order to consolidate their forces for the later, chinese civil war.

Warscholar....it's so gratifying to see an american who is genuinely interested in Chinese history and knows some bits better than I do!

I bet this video is blocked in China :-D

[SunnyWinterMorning]

All in all, a fairly good job...Some one mentioned that the rape of Nanking was left out but I suppose you could not cover everything. One problem I thought was with the map - it showed Taiwan coloured as foreign territory throughout the entire period notwithstanding that it was returned to China (KMT forces) in 1945. Also, you mistakenly referred to Chiang declaring "Taiwan" a provisional capital. Presumably you meant "Taipei". A province cannot be a capital.

Nice Video. A lot of important details were omitted though. For example,

the kidnapping of Chiang and the final battles in Chongqing and Chengdu, before the eventual exodus to Taiwan.

@KMTchina Favoured the nationalists? The Kuomintang is great, but everyone already knows, the popular support went to the Communists. Most people in China supported the Communists, it was the rich that didn't support the Communists.
