Chinese Civil War (After the Defeat of the major Warlords)

After the defeat of the Major Warlord Cliques (as we left off in my previous post about the Chinese Civil War), Chaing Kai Sheik turned on the Communist wing in the Kuomintang government and attempted to purge them out of China in the Shanghai Massacres. The Communists in retaliation start several uprisings, thus starting the Communist-Nationalist phase of the Chinese Civil War. After several early defeats, Mao Zedong and his Communists fled into the mountains in a famous 2,000 mile march that the Communists lost 90% of their forces. One of the few reasons why Mao and his Communists survived the Long March is because Chaing mostly relied on the Warlords (the defeated warlords were allowed to keep their armies under the conduction that they served the Kuomintang government) the that he was only loosely allied with to. The Warlords feared that once the Communists were defeated, Chaing would have turned on them. So they went kind-off easy on the Communists. Fortunately for the Communists, the Japanese invaded China, forcing the Nationalist and the Communists into an alliance. After the Japanese were driven out of China, attempts at a collation government between the Communists and the Nationalists failed and the Nationalists were driven out of China. The Nationalists then start a regime in Twain.
