Chiang Kai-shek: He took part in the overthrowing of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. Afterward he then joined the Chinese Nationalist Party, which was founded by Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen supported Chiang and made him commandant of the Whampoa Military Academy in Canton in 1924. When Sun Yat-sen died, Chiang became leader of the Chinese Nationalist Party. In 1926, he led the victorious Northern Expedition with the Nationalist army into several cities. A year later, he initiated the long civil war between the Chinese Nationalist Party and the Communist. A year after that he became head of the Nationalist government. The Japanese evaded China in 1931. It was because Chiang was not as concerned with the Japanese as he was his own civil war, that he was kidnapped in 1936. The people that kidnapped him wanted him to end the civil war with Communists and use the army to fight the Japanese. Then Japanese attacked China in 1937 and the civil war between the Nationalist and Communists died down. Chiang was forced to move his capital to Chongquig after the Japanese took over Nanjing and Hankou. Then when World War II started China joined the Allied Powers. They joined the Allied Powers after the United States joined World War II against Japan. Chiang’s power in China weakened and he went to Cairo, Egypt to meet the US President Franklin Roosevelt and the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. Civil war against the Communist and the Nationalist erupted again in 1946. The result was the Communist won and established the People’s Republic of China in 1949.
Chiang then fled to Taiwan and the rest of the Nationalist came with him. He made a government there that he led for 25 years. Many countries recognized this as the legitimate government of China. Since people thought that Taiwan controlled China’s seat in the United Nations until Chiang died.
