Ep. 53 | China in the Early 1920s
The 1920s in Republican-era China was anything but quiet and uneventful. In this episode, we focus on the general situation in China during the period of the early 1920s. This was a time when the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and KMT (Kuomintang) were in the same bed dreaming their different dreams.
It was a period where China was divided with warlords Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, and Sun Chuanfang controlling China from the Yangzi north. The south was the domain of the KMT-CCP alliance where the revolution was always in the air.
In 1927 Chiang Kai-shek will turn on the CCP and this sets a chain of events in motion that will lead to the Communist’s victory in 1949.
It took almost fourteen years but here's a first CHP episode that focuses on China-Africa history.
