Question

b. as you read \struggle for a new china\ and \japanese invasion,\ complete the chart to sequence the fighting among the guomindang, the warlords, the chinese communists, and the japanese.
1926

• guomindang and communists defeat warlords.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the historical sequence:

Middle Box (Next Event):

After 1926 (Northern Expedition success), the Guomindang turned on the Communists (White Terror, 1927 - early 1930s). So:

• Year range (e.g., 1927–1936): Guomindang fights Chinese Communists (civil war), while warlords are mostly defeated, and Japan begins encroachment (e.g., Manchuria 1931, but full - scale war later).
• Example entry:

1927–1936

• Guomindang battles Chinese Communists (civil war); Japan invades Manchuria (1931) but full - scale war with China not yet.

Last Box (Final Event):

After internal conflicts, Japan launches full - scale invasion (1937, Marco Polo Bridge Incident). United Front (Guomindang + Communists) fights Japan, while warlords are sidelined. So:

• Year: 1937–1945
• Event: Guomindang and Chinese Communists form United Front to fight Japanese invasion; warlords mostly support or are sidelined.

Filled Chart (Summary):

1926	1927–1936	1937–1945

(Note: Exact years and details can be adjusted based on historical accuracy, but this follows the sequence of warlord defeat → civil war/early Japanese encroachment → full - scale war with United Front.)
