Question

If the outcome of the Civil War had been different, how would that most likely have affected China? Unrest might have continued in much of the country because so many people supported the Communists. People in urban areas would probably have been unhappy, but people in the countryside would have benefited. European influence in China might have begun to diminish because nationalism would have lost its hold. The Republic of China probably would be much smaller, and the People’s Republic of China would be larger.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Meanwhile, the communists had built 15 rural strongholds in central China, and on Nov. 7, 1931, they founded the Jiangxi Soviet, a soviet government.
• Within the Soviet Union, communist authorities expropriated and redistributed land and rallied the impoverished classes' support in various ways.
• In 1932, the Japanese conquest of Manchuria and a nearby localized conflict distracted the Nationalists, giving the communists a limited window of opportunity to grow and solidify.
• However, in late 1934, the Nationalists forced the communist soldiers to surrender their strongholds and flee.
• The Nationalist government had lost the best of its modern armies, its air force and arsenals, the majority of China's modern industries and railways, its major tax resources, and all of the ports through which military equipment and civilian supplies could be imported by the end of this first phase of the war.
• It did, however, possess a huge, mainly unexplored land as well as inexhaustible personnel reserves.
• Japan's authority over the seized eastern section of the country would be tough as long as China continued to resist.
