Asia Pacific 106 years ago today: Second Chinese Revolution (28 Jul 1913) https://buff.ly/2MhadrL Although military strongman Yuan Shikai had been made provisional president of the new Republic of China to preserve peace, he soon began acting more and more dictatorial, cracking down on Sun Yatsen's Nationalist Party (the Kuomintang). In 1913, Sun attempted to launch another revolution but was forced to flee to Japan. #asiapacific #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1910s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1913 #chinesehistory #japanesehistory #july #july28 #kuomintang #chineserevolution #chineseempire #qingdynasty #sunyatsen #yuanshikai #warlordchina #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Wuhan, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0c86vgAIe9/?igshid=1x2t2xbjb6mv0
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 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
East Asia 70 years ago today: Communist Victory in North China (31 Jan 1949) https://buff.ly/2FZX3Ny With their defeat at Xuzhou, the Nationalists were forced to abandon northern China and fall back on Nanjing and the Yangtze River.

Southern Asia 107 years ago today: Chinese Revolution (13 Nov 1911) https://buff.ly/2T8kZ4y In 1910, the Chinese Empire reasserted itself and occupied Tibet. However, this would be the decadent Empire’s last triumph. All across China, revolutionary groups had formed to overthrow the regime, with one such group managing to seize power in the city of Wuchang on October 10, 1911. From there the revolution spread quickly, and, in January 1912, China was declared a republic. #southernasia #history #welovemaps #map #1910s #1911 #chinesehistory #xinhairevolution #chineserevolution #november #november13 #historyoftibet #tibetanhistory #maps #chinesenationalism #wuchang #chiangkaishek #sunyatsen #sunyixian #yuanshikai #chineseempire #historyteacher #historybuff #todayinhistory #historytoday #historygeek #historynerd #republicofchina #britishempire (at Wuhan, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqHNEyFA8zv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gr3g4ur9uf7a
East Asia 70 years ago today: Huaihai Campaign (06 Nov 1948) https://buff.ly/2PHJMgZ By late 1948 the Communists were gaining the initiative in the Chinese Civil War. In early November Communist forces moved to surround a large body of Nationalist troops at Xuzhou. The following two month battle resulted in the death or capture of over 500 thousand Nationalists, severely weakening the Nationalist position north of the Yangtze. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #map #1940s #1948 #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #november #november6 #maps #chineserevolution #chinesecommunism #pla #republicofchina #todayinhistory #historytoday #asianhistory #historybuff #historyteacher #historygeek #historynerd #communistrevolution #maozedong #chiangkaishek #jiangjieshi #huaihaicampaign #battleofxuzhou (at Xuzhou) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp1Q68ggSGr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=focrvky8r2qc
