Explanation:

Part A: Causes of Upheaval in the Chinese Republic

To complete the chart for part A, we analyze the historical context of the early 1900s in China:

1. Political Fragmentation: After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, warlords seized regional power, leading to internal division (e.g., warlordism, weak central government under the Republic).
2. Foreign Imperialism: Continued foreign interference (e.g., Japanese aggression, unequal treaties with Western powers) undermined sovereignty and economic stability.
3. Social and Economic Turmoil: Peasant unrest due to land inequality, inflation, and poverty; urban discontent from industrial exploitation and foreign economic dominance.
4. Ideological Conflicts: Struggles between nationalists (Guomindang), communists, and traditional/conservative factions over China’s future.

Part B: Sequencing the Fighting (1926 Onward)

Using historical timelines of the Chinese Civil War and Japanese invasion:

• 1926: Guomindang (KMT) and Communists (CCP) form the First United Front to defeat warlords (Northern Expedition).
• Late 1920s–1930s: KMT turns on CCP (White Terror, Long March), while Japan invades Manchuria (1931) and expands (1937 Full-Scale War).
• 1937–1945: KMT and CCP temporarily unite against Japanese invasion (Second United Front), though tensions persist.
• 1945–1949: Civil War resumes; CCP defeats KMT, leading to the founding of the PRC (1949).
