In its period of ascendancy on the mainland, diverse but deteriorating. The movement started as a socially progressive movement aimed at a modern constitutional republic, but factionalism and collusion with warlordism & traditional vested interests reduced it to a conservative, undemocratic and ultimately ineffectual instrument for keeping power. Some elements retained some of the party's founding ideals, but were sidelined during its later decades.
It is a chinese political party starting around 1900 and being one of the driving forces behind the revolution of 1911. It's earliest important is Sun-Yatsen.
The Communists and the Guomindang (KMT) cooperated during the Northern Expedition in 1926 to unify China and eliminate warlord control, which was seen as essential for national strength and modernization. This collaboration was initially successful, but the underlying ideological differences and power struggles soon resurfaced. The expedition ultimately deepened mistrust between the two groups, leading to the eventual split and violent conflict, particularly the purge of Communists by the KMT in 1927. This marked the beginning of a protracted civil war that would shape China's future.
It was in 1949 when Mao Zedong came into power. Before World War II and the Chinese Civil War (1946-49), when the Chinese Communists under Mao Zedong were able to oust Chiang Kai Shek and the Guomindang (Chinese NAtionalist Party). The new government vowed to create a new china, molded along Marxist lines.
Also known as the Chinese Nationalist Party. Its origins go back to the end of the Qing dynasty, when in April 1912 Song Jiaoren and Sun Yat-sen reorganized and merged several revolutionary organizations into the Chinese Revolutionary Party. Outlawed by Yuan Shikai in 1913, Sun set up a government in Guangzhou (Canton) of the 'Republic of China' in 1917 as a rival to the regime in Peking. In 1918, he himself was forced to leave for Shanghai, where he transformed the Chinese Revolutionary Party into the Guomindang on 10 October 1919. He was able to return to Guangzhou in 1920. Having sought Western aid in vain, he received support from the Soviet Communist Party, and in 1923 entered an alliance with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The party was reformed on Leninist principles of democratic centralism, which remained the party's organizational principle until the 1990s. Communists were admitted into the party, which held its first conference in January 1924. It claimed leadership in the nationalist struggle to unite the country and to rid it of all foreign influence. Its ideology was based on the 'Three People's Principles': nationalism, people's rights, and people's livelihood.
When the Chinese Communists defeated the Chinese Nationalists (Kuomintang/Guomindang) in Mainland China, the Nationalists retreated to the island of Taiwan (also known as Formosa) and established rule over the island. To this day, one of the dominant political parties in Taiwan is the Kuomintang (which goes under the moniker of "the Blue Party").The irony is that because Kuomintang has unity with mainland China as an aspirational goal (as opposed to its political rivals which seek Taiwanese independence), the Communists in Mainland China prefer to negotiate with Kuomintang leaders in Taiwan than any other major Taiwanese political party.

In 1934, in an epic retreat known as the Long March, Mao and about 100,000 of his followers fled the Guomindang. During the next year, they trekked more than 6,000 miles, facing daily attacks as they crossed rugged mountains, deep gorges, and mighty rivers. Only about 20,000 people survived the ordeal. For decades, the Long March stood as a symbol of Communist heroism to Chinese opposed to Guomindang.

The Guomindang, or Kuomintang (KMT), is a Chinese nationalist political party founded in 1912 by Sun Yat-sen. It played a crucial role in the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and sought to establish a unified China based on nationalist principles. After a civil war against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the KMT retreated to Taiwan in 1949, where it continued to govern until the democratic reforms of the late 20th century. The party remains influential in Taiwanese politics today, advocating for a distinct Chinese identity and cross-strait relations with mainland China.
