In 1911 a revolution under the rule of Sun
Yat-sen a republic was set up. The 1920s saw the
rise of the Guomindang ( Nationalist Peoples
party ) under Gen Chiang Kaishek and the
foundation of the Chinese Communist Party in
1921. In 1926 trouble began between then,as a
effect of this. In the 1930s threats from Japan
culminated in open attack and the occupation of
parts of the country, which lasted until the end
of World War II. This put a temporary halt to
internal party struggles, but in 1949 the
Guomindang was defeated by the communists and a
People's Republic was set up by Mao Tse-tung.
This was the moment, where China became communist
and was from now on called Red China.
