chiang kai shek

In Cairo Conference during WWII the Americans, not wanting the French to return to Indochina, had offered Chiang entire control of French Indochina, but he deliberately withheld his soldiers from occupying Vietnam since he was going to use them to fight the communists inside China. The was...

Hi. I am currently writing a story set in an alternate timeline in which China remains under KMT rule. These are my notes about this alternate timeline. Please review my notes, analyze them, and correct anything if I wrote something wrong or inaccurate. Sorry if the notes are a bit too...

Would Have Mao Zedong Execution by Kuomintang? Would Have a South Korea Won Korean War and Annexation North Korea After Kuomintang Won Chinese Civil War? Would Have COVID-19 Never Happened After Kuomintang Won Chinese Civil War? Would Have a Cultural Revolution Never Happened after Kuomintang...

Hello everyone, I'm new to posting here. And I've been developing a timeline that involves a major event, a North-South China divide/continuation of the Chinese Civil war. From what I've got the TL has some significant key-events changed a few years before in the 40s and 50s, that lead to a...

Prologue Taken from "Soviets & Fascists Clash in Manchuria" an article published in the MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, June 1954. PEKING - Chinese officials continue to condemn 'brazen acts of communist aggression' following the reinforcement of Zhenbao Island with tanks and rockets by the Red Army last...

Xiong Xianghui was a CCP spy who worked as a secretary to Hu Zongnan, one of the Nationalists' top generals, sending all sorts of important information regarding KMT moves to the Communist leadership. His biggest contribution to the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War happened in early...

in 1936, Chiang Kai Shek was temporarily deposed as leader of the KMT in the Xi'an Incident before re-obtaining power and making an alliance with the CCP that would later prove fatal to him (at least, that's what I get from it from a basic once over). What if, in an alternate timeline, Shek died...

POD 1934 long march fails completely CCP is eliminated Second Sino Japanese war still happens, KMT hold out until Japan is defeated and surrenders to USA , Chiang occupies japanese occupied china and He is allowed to occupy Indo China until French return as in OTL but refuses to withdraw since...

what if US, Japan and Europeans Intervened in Chinese warlord era to keep China divided like they did to Boxer rebellion ? will it succeed? can they carve out satellite states out China

There have been a couple of "What if the Nationalists had won the Chinese Civil War?" threads over the past few weeks, but its been a while since there was one specifically discussing a non-communist China's economy, and its repercussions. A Chiang led China would have avoided the disastrous...

As a continuation of this thread, where Sun Yat-Sen was blasted as incompetent for presidency of the Republic of China, who would effectively be able to take his place, if we do not count Sun Yat-Sen or Yuan Shikai?

In this TL, the point of divergence comes when Chiang Kai-shek ignores George Marshall's call for a cease-fire and continues the offensive against Mao and his Communists in Manchuria. Note: I have no Chinese-language skills whatsoever, so I am reliant upon Google Translate. If I make a mistake...

I've seen multiple people in this board claim that Chiang Kai-Shek's pro-US Kuomintang regime in China was dangerously close to collapsing from both internal (communist agitation, corruption) and external (Japan, of course) threats in the midst of World War 2, mostly in between the crucial years...

In history, the Communist Party of China advocated the release of Chiang Kai-shek because they believed that Chiang Kai-shek was a pro-British-American faction, at least from the perspective of anti-Japanese, better than the pro-Japanese faction such as He Yingqin. So what if Chiang Kai-shek...

In 1930, a group of Northwest-based warlords under Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang fought one of China's most destructive civil wars in the Republican Era against Chiang Kaishek. Despite early successes, Northwestern forces quickly disintegrated when Zhang Xueliang's Fengtian Clique intervened on...

It’s an odd question, but it’s what I’ve been mulling. How would China be if Central powers won WW1? This was before the Bolshevik Revolution so there is no USSR? I figure there may be warlordism, but that would end when Japan would still cause problems Would Kai-Shek take over? If he died...

Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist Kuomintang historically lost the Chinese Civil War to Mao and the Communist Party of China. The question is, is it plausible for Kai-Shek to win the Civil War AND retain his power after the war? He doesn't have to necessarily be the vanguard for democracy in Asia...

I know that this might be an AH cliche but was it ever possible for China to become a democratic nation at any point in the twentieth century?

This thread isn't going to be a discussion of why or how the ROC wins ITTL. Perhaps Chiang doesn't do [something dumb] and does [something smart] while Mao doesn't do [something smart] and does [something dumb]. Whatever the cause or POD - The National Revolutionary Army utterly smashes the PLA...
