In 1949 the nationalists under chiang Kai-shek arrived in Taiwan from the Chinese mainland. Along with them came more than 1.5 million refugees fleeing communist rule. Fearing a communist invasion, the nationalists kept a large army in the hope of someday retaking the mainland. They also blocked other political groups from sharing in the government.

In fact, there are too many lasting monuments left from Han dynasty. Just highlight two as the following: One is the stone statue "Stepping on Hun", which stands in front of General Huo Qubing's tomb. Who has destroyed the threat from the north grassland against Han but died in his twenties. The other one is the tomb of Han Wu Di, the most powerful and famous emperor of Han Dynasty. The tomb covers an area of 600 thousand sq. m.

The casualty figures for the Korean War vary widely depending on the source. The best estimates by Western countries, estimated at the end of the war the countries involved in the three-year conflict had suffered a total of over 4 million casualties, of which 2 million were civilians. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the United States suffered 33,686 battle deaths, along with 2,830 non-battle deaths during the Korean War and after more than 50 years, there are more than 8,176 Americans still reported as missing. South Korea sustained 1,312,836 casualties, including 415,004 dead. Casualties among other UN allies totalled 16,532, including 3,094 dead. Estimated North Korean casualties numbered 2 million, including about 1 million civilians and about 520,000 soldiers killed. An estimated 900,000 Chinese soldiers lost their lives in combat.

China was forced to enter WW 2 when Japan launched an unprovoked attack upon China on July 27, 1937. This was TWO years before war broke out in Europe, & FOUR years before Pearl Harbor! Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com

Parts of the Great Wall was already built by the various warring states before the first emperor of China, Qin Shi-Huang united China. However, Qin Shi Huang connected the various walls of different states and extended it, and hence often he is known as the person who built the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall was subsequently extended in other dynasties like the Ming Dynasty.

Western styles are very popular in urban areas. Women intend to wear dresses more than slacks. People like to dress up in public. Rural styles are not always so modern, and some rural people continue to wear the drap pantsuits of Mao's era. Ethnic minorities wear clothing relective of their cultural past and the climate in which they live in.

It's communist because a dictator came in and took over China.

The answerer to the above question has no intelligence/knowledge of history.

A. Read the damn Communist manifesto. Dictatorships have nothing to do with communism.

B. Mao Zedong was the head of a popular movement, in competition with the brutal, uncaring Nationalist movement under Chiang Kai-Shek.

C. Their economy is actually one of the most cutthroat capitalist economies in the world.

A meeting was called to protest unemployment and high food prices and to demand political reform giving working class people the right to vote. 60,000 people gathered, including women and children. City officials were alarmed at the high number of people and ordered the citys cavalry to arrest the speakers and disperse the crowd. Professional soldiers were also sent to join the charge. The rout lasted about 10 minutes and left approx 500 people injured and 11 dead.

In September 1931, Manchuria was occupied by the Japanese Army as pretext to an incident blamed on the Chinese. Their main reason for invasion was Manchuria's large raw material resources. Major conflict started in 1937 with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.

Chiang Kai Shek devoted his best German trained divisions to the protection of Shanghai in late August 1937. Chiang wanted to show the world that China was not a lost cause and wanted assistance to repel the Japanese invaders. Although the sacrifice of the divisions cost the Japanese resources and time and proved that China could defend and resist the best it can, help did not arrive in time as Chiang wanted.

Many Americans voluntereed under the American Volunteer Group. The Flying Tigers was part of this group and became famous for their air battles with the Japanese.

By December 1941, when the United States entered the war, along with the British and several other countries, China became part of the Allies. Aid was immediately given along with military advisors, such as General Stilwell.

The Japanese thus began a two front war with the Chinese and the Americans and British. Japan already devoted mass resources to China. With the United States fresh with manpower and weapons and supplies, Japan would start a decline in their strength in the Pacific.

For China, the WW2 started earlier than 1937. In September 1931, Japanese invaded China massively already. Three provinces in the northeastern China was occupied as Japanese collony, which was normally called Manchurian in English. But this term is never accepted by Chinese. Today, it is still a strongly annoying word, especially for people living in that region.

With the order of Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese President at that time, Chinese military forces withdrew from the northeast completely. Most of them were sent to the northwest to fight against the Red Army of the Chinese Communist Party.

Before the western countries were brought into the war in Europe, they were still be able to look after their interests in China. Therefore, Japanese held its invation steps to some extent.

When Hitler's troops invaded in Poland, Japanese government believed that it was the time for more aggresive actions in China without caring the western countries' concern. Finally, in 1937, Japanese troops went across the Great Wall and invaded into the rest of China.

Therefore, it is not a proper way to say "how was China involved in the WW2". The root of the war is originated from its continuous conflit against Japan.

China being invaded by Japan in 1937 was a major partcipant in the pacific war against Japan. Japan exhausted much needed supplies on conquering the vast expanses of China. Although the Chinese Army was of limited quality and combat effectiveness her land provided many problems for the Japanese because of stretched supply lines.

In the decades leading up to WWII, China was in ruins. The last dynasty collapsed in 1911 (by then radio and airplane was already invented!). Europe had their hands all over China. Meanwhile, the revolutionary groups that took down the last dynasty began gaining momentum. The Koumingtang (KMT) or Nationalist Party and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was in an power struggle of who would rule China. Japan invaded China in 1937, because of the civil war, Japan took many Chineses cities with little or no resistance. The KMT and CCP would have rather killed each other than fight the Japanese. There was a short period of cooperation but that didn't last long.

That was how they were involved in WWII because that was the conflict in the Pacific Theatre. The U.S. supplied the KMT with military advisors and artillery to fight the Japanese but they were finding out that they were using it to fight the Communists instead. The Americans were hoping that the KMT would distract the Japanese so they would have it easier in their own fight against Japan. But it didn't work. The Japanese started withdrawing troops from China to fight the US in the Pacific. Of course you know the outcome of that. The US dropped the A-Bomb and forced Japanese troops to surrender in China. The war was over.

Japan raped plundered and pillaged China prior to attacking the US at Pearl Harbor. As the war progressed China joined the Allied powers but were occupied by Japanese forces close to the border. When Colonel Doolittle took a group of pilots and attacked Japan's industrial sites in Tokyo and a couple other cities, China was the designated landing site. Unfortunately due to Japanese occupation for the most part - none of the planes made it back. Almost all of the pilots and crews did make it out but he felt it was a failure without the planes as well.

They think it's a god or demon of some sort. They worship it, so I guess it's just their culture. The dragon is discribed as the most powerful being in China. Myths say it can summon rain, sunshine etc. some dragons can comtrol the weather while others control the earth. A legend says that there was once 4 dragons:the red dragon, the yellow dragon, the black dragon and pearl dragon. One dragon loved the earth and when he saw that the emperor would not let rain fall on a village, he took pity on that village. gathering, the 4 dragons each took a mouthful of water and spread it over the village. When the emperor saw what they did, he got angry and imprisoned them. A nimth took pity on them since they were only trying to help and turned them into China's most important rivers: the red river, the yellow river, the black river and the pearl river. Also our ancestors envied their aility to fly. This is why dragons are so important to china. Resource:My mom, who spent her childhood in China.

Constant conflict with the Manchu left the Ming Dynasty weary. Between 1623 and 1628 they failed and were unable to recapture rule over the Manchu. The Manchu were able to infiltrate the ranks of the Ming Dynasty, enlisting Ming officials as advisors. By 1636, the Manchu campaign had been so successful, their leader was able to declare the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, defeat of traditional ally, Korea by Manchu forces lead to reunification of the Ming Dynasty by Korean officials.

Geography influences people. Just as a Mediterranean climate tends to make people more easy going, and a harsh winter climate makes people desperate to get their chores done quickly before winter sets in. People (society) develope as a nation, based upon that "relaxed attitude" (Mediterranian) or that "hurry up...winters coming" (Harsh Country) personality. In this case, China was NOT an island, which caused it to take things in stride, no urgency, no unity, just do business and make a profit. Japan was an island. No resources, live by the sea with trade and develope self supporting ways...or perish. When Western Imperialism came to the East, China was too disorganized to confront it. And were very nearly carved up into possessions of the Western powers. China did manage to defend itself, but not as well as it could have. The Boxer Rebellion (1900) being one example. Japan was far quicker to react. Japan's survival instinct had already been in place due to the "Island" mentality of survival mentioned above. When Western Imperialism raised it's ugly head, Japan immediately built up it's military to confront it. Then built it up even stronger to not only defeat Western Powers, but to become an Imperialist herself, thus creating a larger fence for enemies to have penetrate before reaching Japan itself.
