Chinese cultural revolution

Answer 1

The Chinese Civil War ( Jiefang Zhanzheng; literally "Revolutionary War"), which lasted from April 1927 to May 1950, was a civil war in China between the Kuomintang (KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party) and the Chinese Communist Party (CPC). The war began in 1927, after the Northern Expedition. The war represented an ideological split between the Western-supported Nationalist KMT, and the Soviet-supported Communist CPC. The civil war carried on intermittently until the looming Second Sino-Japanese War interrupted it, resulting in an organized and temporary Chinese resistance to the Japanese invasion. The Japanese assault and occupation was an opportunistic attack made possible by China's own state of internal turmoil. Japan's campaign was defeated in August, 1945 by the Allies, marking the end of World War II, and China's full-scale civil war resumed in 1946. Hostilities ended after 23 years in 1950, with an unofficial cessation of major hostilities, with the CPC controlling mainland China (including Hainan Island) and the KMT restricted to their remaining territories of Taiwan, Pescadores, and the several outlying Fujianese islands. To this day, no official armistice has ever been signed, although the two sides have close economic ties.

Answer 2

TheChinese Civil War(1927–1950) was acivil warin China fought between forces loyal to thegovernmentof theRepublic of Chinaled by theKuomintang(KMT) and forces of theCommunist Party of China(CPC).[6]The war began in April 1927, amidst theNorthern Expedition,[7]and essentially ended when major active battles ceased in 1950. The conflict eventually resulted intwode factostates, theRepublic of China (ROC) in Taiwanand thePeople's Republic of China(PRC) inmainland China, both claiming to be the legitimate government of China.

The war represented anideologicalsplit (Left vs. Right) between theCommunistCPC, and the KMT's brand ofNationalism. In mainland China today, thelast three years of the war (1947–1949)are more commonly known as theWar of Liberation, or alternatively theThird Internal Revolutionary War(第三次国内革命战争). In Taiwan, the war was also known as theCounter-insurgency War against Communists(反共戡亂戰爭) before 1991 or commonly theNationalist-Communist Civil War(國共內戰) in both sides.

The civil war continued intermittently until late 1937, when the two parties formed aSecond United Frontto counter aJapanese invasion. China's full-scale civil war resumed in 1946, a year after the end of hostilities with Japan. After four more years, 1950 saw the cessation of major military hostilities—with the newly founded People's Republic of China controlling mainland China (includingHainan), and the Republic of China's jurisdiction being restricted to Taiwan,Penghu,Quemoy,Matsuandseveral outlying islands.

TheKuomintangdefeat is attributed to several factors: Corruption - Chiang wrote in his diary on June 1948 that the KMT had failed, not because of external enemies but because of rot from within.[8]Strong initial support from the U.S. diminished, and then, stopped. (Partly because of KMT corruption and anti-democratic[9]regime, and partly because of the uncertain U.S. foreign policy towards Communism between 1945 and 1950); Communist land reform policy promised poor peasants farmland from their landlords. This ensured PLA popular support. After the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, Soviet forces turned over their captured Japanese weapons to the CPC and allowed the CPC to take control of territory in Manchuria.

To this day, noarmisticeorpeace treatyhas ever been signed, and it is debated as to the whether the Civil War has legally ended.[10]Cross-Strait relationshave been hindered bymilitary threatsand political and economic pressure, particularly overTaiwan's political status, with both governments officially adhering to a "One-China policy." The PRC still actively claims Taiwan as part of its territory and continues to threaten the ROC with a military invasion if the ROC officially declaresindependenceby changing its name to and gaininginternational recognitionas theRepublic of Taiwan. The ROC mutually claims mainland China, and they both continue the fight overdiplomatic recognition. Today, the war as such occurs on the political and economic fronts in the form of cross-Strait relations; however, the two separatede factostateshave close economic ties.[11]

Answer 4

The Chinese Cultural Revolution was a period of time for 1966-1976. Mao Zedong, the leader of China at this time, wanted to destroy his political enemies. That was probably the main reason it started. It ended because of Mao Zedong's death. By the way: Mao Zedong also was the one that started the Great Leap Forward and united the Nationalists and the Communists against the Japanese because they were attacking China.

Answer 5

If this question is referring to the Communist Chinese Revolution in 1949; it was a war that turned CHINA into Communist China. Known in the free world as "Red China." A title that is in the US dictionary published in the 1960's. During the Cold War, communists were called "Reds". During the Russian Bolshevik (Communist) Revolution, 1917: the communist RED Army Defeated the Tsars WHITE Army. Russia became a communist nation in 1917. The communist RED Chinese Army under Chairman Mao defeated the non-communist Chinese Army under General Chang Kai Shek in 1949; forcing him to establish a new "China" on the island of Taiwan. During the cold war there were TWO Chinas: RED CHINA & NATIONALIST CHINA.
