that led to the death of 60 million people and etc
Ah damn and then even looking at the main land today where people think its ok to poo anywhere
He's basically right except that China did have firearms too. Just not exclusively the way European armies did. And there were certain warlords and factions that refused to use guns.
Also noteworthy is that the National Revolutionary Army outnumbered the Workers and Peasants Red Army by about 5:1
No you cannot shit in the street in China. You might see that in a remote village if a kid does it but it's not appropriate
In WW2 it was the Republic of China, led by the socialist Kuomintang
Or Guomindang depending on how you latinize it
I am not an apologist for the CPC and my own in-laws were mistreated despite fighting for their country, but. In 1927 the KMT broke their alliance with the CPC and withdrew from Comintern. Then they killed up to 10,000 civilians they accused of communist leanings. The KMT fractured, basically a Nazi side and a commie side
Wang Jingwei (president) sided with the left wing of the KMT, but betrayed his country to the Japanese. Close friend of Mao and other founders up until then. He was deposed by a warlord, swore allegiance to the new leader-Chiang Kai Shek
A Methodist socialist with apparent Muslim sympathies since he had Hui generals in his army
Hui are an ethnic group of China who are mostly Muslim, but they're not the same as the Uighur Turks from Xinjiang
They actually have slant eyes etc like everyone else
Wang and Chiang went back and forth. Wang resigned several times, Chiang wouldn't accept his resignation, they became friends again, then fought again etc
Wang felt they were not modernized enough to defeat Japan, Chiang felt they could if given enough time to develop industry. Both were right in a way
Ironically Wang wanted to join the Axis and sign an anticommunist treaty with them, while Chiang wanted peace with the Soviets
They got along well enough to resist Japan. Had the Japanese not been busy fighting China, we may not have been able to beat them. They probably could not conquer all of China though, it's too big and populated
The atrocities of the KMT were enough to provoke a popular revolution to overthrow them. The Japanese were far worse, and they would have stirred up a huge hornet's nest inland
The part of China that Japan didn't get to had twice the population of the US at the time, 3/5ths of the entire country. They already couldn't keep order in the eastern parts
The Chinese did have small arms, but they lacked in artillery, let alone having any tanks at all. Even in World of Tanks, the beginning tiers of the Chinese tank tech tree are either British and American lend lease, or captured Japanese tanks. It was only after Maoist takeover of China that they started to make better tanks, that too which were just Soviet copies.
The Japanese still had a relatively better condition in terms of armour, and since they already had a lot of artillery, Germany broke its alliance with China in 1938 and formed the Tripartite in 1940.
Beginning of the war I think they had like 35 tanks in the entire army.
Small arms were mostly LICENSED copies of German weapons
Still available for purchase now, not in China of course
no
Video game talk belongs in general. Asian politics belongs in Vidya. European and religious history belongs in wakanda
