Explanation:
1- Empress Dowager Cixi died in 1908, a day after his nephew Emperor Guangxu, having installed on the throne Puyi, a nephew-grandson of his who would be the last emperor of China.
2- The Xinhai Revolution was a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty (the Qing Dynasty) and established the Republic of China, in October 1911.
3- The Kuomintang is a Chinese nationalist political party of the Republic of China founded after the Xinhai Revolution of 1911.
4- The formal foundation of the Communist Party of China was held at a meeting in Shanghai on July 1, 1921. A few days later, on July 23, the 1st National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was inaugurated, also in Shanghai. There were 12 delegates, including Mao Zedong, who approved the statutes of the new Party, which began to oppose the Kuomintang.
5- When Sun Yat-sen died in 1925, the KMT's political leadership fell on Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, respectively leaders of the party's left and right. The real power, however, was in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, who, as superintendent of the Whampoa Military Academy, was almost in complete control of the military. Chiang assumed effective leadership of the KMT on July 6, 1926.
6- The Chinese Civil War, which lasted from August 1927 to October 1949, was the conflict that took place in China between the Kuomintang (or Chinese Nationalist Party) and the Chinese Communist Party.
The war ended in 1949 with an unofficial cessation of hostilities between the sides, with the mainland China (including Hainan Island) finally being under communist control, where the new regime of the People's Republic of China was proclaimed, while the nationalists managed to maintain control over the island territories of Taiwan, Penghu and several coastal islands of Fujian province, territories in which the regime of the Republic of China has been maintained until now.
7- The Japanese invasion of Manchuria began on September 19, 1931, immediately after the Mukden Incident. The Japanese occupation of Manchuria lasted until the end of World War II and would lead to the founding of the puppet state of Manchukuo.
