Chinese Civil War (1927): Shanghai massacre
[6] [chinese-civil-0-6] Chinese Civil War is the record of 1927 under “Shanghai massacre.” The figure to read with it is 04. Do not arrange states in a league. Fix who moved what, and where, to that year. Do not add a later war into the same total. After Japan's surrender, US-mediated talks failed. The 1946-49 phase was decided in Manchuria and on the mainland railways: Liaoshen, Huaihai and Pingj
The civil war was a social revolution and a conventional war, paused by Japan and finished in 1949 with two Chinese states still claiming one sovereignty. Sun Yat-sen's KMT had accepted Soviet aid and a CCP alliance. After the Northern Expedition, Chiang turned on the Communists in Shanghai in April 1927. Rural soviets, the Jiangxi period, and the Long March (1934-35) kept a CCP remnant alive in Yan'an.
The war against Japan forced a Second United Front that neither side trusted. While Chiang's government retreated to Chongqing, the CCP expanded in north China behind Japanese lines. US observers (the Dixie Mission) saw a disciplined guerrilla party; US aid still flowed mainly to the KMT.
Corruption, inflation and conscription abuse hollowed Nationalist legitimacy even before 1946's open war. Marshall's mission failed. Soviet withdrawal from Manchuria left a scramble for Japanese weapons. Lin Biao's northeast campaigns and the 1948-49 three great campaigns ended KMT resistance on the mainland.
