1 more item...
from 1941, the USA lent military and financial aid to the Nationalist government
from 1943, they began to send troops to 'support the common war effort against Japan'
USA permitted heightened Chinese migration to the USA
wartime policy of US was to establish China as a strong power and strong ally in East Asia
political conflict grew in China - USA sought unsuccessfully to bring together the rival forces to focus on Japan
Soviet troops entered Manchuria to help kick the final Japanese out
contributed to the civil war because Soviet troops left Japanese weaponry for the CCP/PLA to use
1945, China emerged from the war as a great military power
internally though, it was on the brink of civil war once again
there was high inflation (facilitated by a wartime squeeze and the inability of the nationalist government)
starvation and floods wreaked havoc
December 1936: the forces of a Manchurian warlord held Chiang Kai-Shek hostage for several days
until he agreed to cease hostilities agains the Communists
resulted in the
Second United Front
the thought of 'internal unity before external danger' manifested as mutinies and riots
Japanese began to push from the South of the Great Wall into Northern China and the coastal provinces
Chinese were furious:
with the Japanese
with the GMD government who seemed more focused on taking out the Communists than the Japanese
League of Nations could not (did not) act in the face of Japanese defiance
