chinese civil war

What if the Republic of China, led by the Guomindang successfully repelled the People's Liberation Army's invasions of Hainan, the Wanshan Islands, and Zhoushan Island? Would this lead to more governments recognizing the ROC over the People's Republic of China or more attempts by the People's...

As we all know, the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War and took control of all of China, but what if the Nationalists lost the Civil War and the Communists had taken over? What PODs might be needed for such a scenario? How would the Cold War be affected without the Republic of China being a...

A few years ago, I remember reading in a book I had to cite from that before China ceded Taiwan to Japan, the British were interested in adding Taiwan to their empire. I looked up the claim myself, but couldn't find any documents supporting it. So what if the British went for Taiwan, either...

At the end of WW2, the Republic of China, alongside the US, the Soviet Union, Great Britain and France were made members of the UN Security Council. The Republic of China War then replaced by its predecessor, the People's Republic of China. But, had the Chinese Civil War ended in a stalemate...

Wonder what the mood in South China is right now. Seriously, how long will it be until someone is forced to go in and squash that regime?

IOTL, the Huaihai campaign was one of the last truly "balanced" battles between nationalist and communist forces in the Chinese Civil War. The KMT's army would eventually be surrounded and defeated by the communists (something due to Chiang-Kai-Shek's plans being leaked by CCP spies). But what...

As one of the most bizarre and ambitious characters in history, what the largest plausible area that Baron Roman von Ungern Sternberg could have conquered? Would he always have been the "power behind the throne" of Mongolia or any other potential conquests, or could Roman have been coronated...

I have been trying to learn more about the immediate post-war period and was looking at the fall of the Nationalists and the rise of the PRC along with its impact on the geopolitical situation. It would only be a couple years before the US developed into the "Policeman of the Free World" and the...

1. Let's say China does not go full communist during the Civil War. Maybe the KMT saves All of China, save for Manchuria, which is communist. The Korean War goes like OTL. 2. Then, Vietnam goes OTL or just unstable in the 1960s (you can diverge if you want). AFAIK, the Soviets were the main...

In the Boxer Rebellion, the Southeastern provinces under various governors had an agreement named the Mutual Protection of Southeast China, in which the various governors were not involved in the War and had almost established a Republic under Li Hongzhang. But what if Li Hongzhang actually...

There's seems to have been a brief window in the early 1920s during the Zhili-Fengtian where the Zhili Clique nearly gained victory uniting China. But how could they have won? And what if they won? What would the 'Nanjing Decade' look like under Zhili Clique rule? What direction would they...

Between 1946 and 1949, there was something of an undeclared war between the Republic of China and the Soviets (along with their Mongolian allies). WI it all escalated further and the Pei-ta-shan Incident had triggered a full-scale Soviet intervention in Sinkiang? Would a Soviet intervention...
