Asia Pacific 91 years ago today: Jinan Incident (11 May 1928) https://buff.ly/2LCi6JH Aided by the Guangxi clique, the Chinese Nationalists drove the Communists into the mountains in late 1927. With the Communists out of the way, Chiang Kaishek was ready to resume his march on Beijing. However when he attacked the Fengtian clique, the Japanese intervened, expelling the Nationalists from the strategic city of Jinan. #asiapacific #history #20thcentury #map #1920s #1928 #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesecommunists #chinesehistory #fengtian #liaoning #japan #japanesehistory #kuomintang #may #may11 #warlordchina #manchuria #chineserevolution #jiangjieshi #chiangkaishek #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #welovehistory (at Jinan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxULLYigujh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kjgfzez39irw

Asia Pacific 73 years ago today: Reclaiming China (27 Mar 1946) https://buff.ly/2Orr6Pu During the war in China, the Communists had gradually built up power in the rural areas behind Japanese lines. When the war ended, they vied with the Nationalists to accept Japanese surrenders and gain control of strategic towns, while also infiltrating Soviet-occupied Manchuria. In response, the Nationalists made use of their US allies to airlift troops into important cities in the north. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1940s #1946 #britishcommonwealth #occupationofjapan #britishempire #chinesecivilwar #chinesecommunists #chinesehistory #coldwar #indochina #dutcheastindies #japaneseempire #japanesehistory #kuomintang #manchuria #march #march27 #northvietnam #sovietunion #ussr #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek (at Beijing, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvgHkzpgUH_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r69rtelxqls8

Asia Pacific 70 years ago today: Communist Victory in Northern China (23 Jan 1949) https://buff.ly/2UgtcUb In China, the uneasy truce between Nationalists and Communists had collapsed in mid-1946. Things started well for the superior Nationalist forces, but their focus on taking cities, and ignoring control of the countryside, left them overextended. By late 1948, the Communists were ready for their own major offensives, isolating and destroying the Nationalist armies in Manchuria, central China and north China. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1940s #1949 #britishempire #britishcommonwealth #asianhistory #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesecommunists #chinesehistory #coldwar #chineserevolution #manchuria #january #january23 #maozedong #jiangjieshi #chiangkaishek #sovietunion #ussr #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd (at Beijing, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9vhY-gmWS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v718yyz45nx5

Asia Pacific 73 years ago today: Surrender of Japan's Overseas Forces (11 Oct 1945) https://buff.ly/2EfRSZM At the time of the Japanese surrender, Japan still had some 4 million troops stationed abroad. Over the following months, the Allies accepted the surrender of these forces, although they were dependent on them to maintain order for many months more. Some Japanese refused to surrender, instead joining the independence movements sprouting up across their former empire, most notably in French Indochina and the Dutch East Indies. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1940s #1945 #australia #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesecommunists #pacificwar #chinesehistory #coldwar #japaneseholdouts #indochina #japan #japanesehistory #korea #kuomintang #netherlands #northvietnam #october #october11 #peoplesrepublicofkorea #singapore #southkorea #southvietnam #britishempire #unitedstates #maps (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoyXBYBAaGz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tmvkcgj8a8au

East Asia 39 years ago today: Sino-Vietnamese War (05 Mar 1979) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19790305/ The Khmer Rouge's brutal rule in Cambodia led to millions of deaths, while its growing antagonism with its former Vietnamese allies erupted into full scale war in 1978. Vietnam quickly occupied most of Cambodia, prompting China, which had supported the Khmer Rouge, to attack Vietnam. After a month of brutal but inconclusive warfare, the Chinese withdrew. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1970s #1979 #cambodia #china #chinesecommunists #chinesehistory #coldwar #easttimor #indonesia #khmerrouge #maps #march #march5 #northvietnam #philippines #solomonislands #southvietnam #thailand #unitedstates #vietnam #map #cartography #vietnamwar #war #geography #politics (at Hanoi, Vietnam)
