Kuomintang and the Communist

Kuomintang:

In October 1928 Kuomintang formally established in Nanjing government. Chiang Kai-shek became president of Kuomintang, also known as the National Party. At first many people were against the dictatorship of Chiang Kai-shek. However, Chiang maintained his power through gigantic military power and support from the bourgeoisie. He tried to construct a modern state based on the property. It was the CCP, who survived with a display of "liberation of the people" who Kuomintang abandoned. 

Communist:

Although the force of the CCP were swept away by the Kuomintang, Mao reconstructed the rest of his unit, which aims to establish an "army of people." This is the model for the Red Army. The specimens that survived guerrilla wars laid the groundwork for a revolution, a strategy to "dominate the city to the farm village" to use the land to win the cities. 

Creating Manchkuo In September 1931 Japan initiated the seizure of Manchuria. Japan established the puppet regime of "Manchukuo" in the last Qing emperor, Pu Yi. This caused an anti-Japanese campaign throughout China, but the Kuomintang took it more important to eradicate the CCP than resist the Japanese invasion. It made people now doubt Kuomintang. 

Long March: 

When Chiang fifth extermination camps campaign began in October 1933, the Communists suddenly changed their strategy. Other members of the party which advocates the meeting Chiang's troops into battle was to undermine Mao's authority. But this strategy proved disastrous. By October 1934 the communist had suffered heavy losses and was taken into a small area in Jiangxi. On the brink of defeat, the Communists decided to retreat from Jiangxi and march north to Shanxi. 

There was not a "Long March", but several, as various Communist armies in the south made their way to Shangxi. The most famous was the march from Jiangxi province, which began in October 1934, took a year to complete, and covered 8000 km over some of the most inhospitable terrain. In this way, as the Communists confiscated officials, landlords and tax collectors, redistributed land to peasants, thousands of peasants with weapons captured from the Kuomintang and the soldiers left behind to organize guerrilla groups to harass the enemy. 

Of the 90,000 people who started in Jiangxi only 20,000 made it to Shangxi because of fatigue, disease, exposure, hostile attacks and desertion all took their toll. The march proved that the Chinese peasants could fight if they had a method, organization, leadership, hope and weapons. It brought many people who later held top rankings for 1949m, including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Lin Biao, Deng Xiaoping and Liu Shoqi. It is also established Mao as the paramount leader of the Chinese Communist movement. During the march a meeting of the CCP hierarchy recognized Mao's chief executive, and he took ultimate responsibility for strategy.
