The Warlord era in China was a chaotic and complex times in its history. Most areas in China were controlled by Warlord Clique, much to the disgust of Chiang Kai-Shek. Chaing campaigned endlessly against the various Warlord Cliques in order to control China under his control. Chaing eventually along with his allies in the Communist party eventually defeated the Warlord Cliques in the Northern Expedition. Soon after the defeat of the warlords, Chaing attempted to purge the Communists out of his government in the Shanghai Massacre, thus started the Chinese Civil War (another topic in a future post). The warlord armies of China were incredibly enormous (up to a million men in some armies) well equipped with armored war-trains armed with battleship cannons.
