China have 5,000 years of history, theres was a long of changes in dynasty and civil wars before the Republic, you are not refering to this are you?\n\nIf you are refering to the last one after the Qing Dynasty, it started when Dr. Sun Yat Sen overthrew the Qing dynasty and establish the republic in 1911. What result from this was some Marshall [General of the army equivalent] became warlords, each establishing its own territory with its own army.\n\nGeneralismo Chiang Kai Shek finally bring everyone under control, but during the warlord times, too many peope suffers and lost their wealth, thats when Mao Tse Tung became the chairman of the communist party. Civil war between the nationalist and communist erupt.\n\nAmerica was supporting Chiang at that time, it was also at this time when Japan start expanding its empire [still under the emperor rule], invade China. \n\nMao was loosing the civil war, the Japanese is conquering more area. The turn of the event when the young Marshall kidnap Chiang and force Chiang to unite with Mao to fight the Japanese, which Chiang agrees. Mao took this opportunity to recoup and expand.\n\nBy the time world war 2 is over, the communist is larger than the nationalist, the civil war continues and by 1949, Chiang lost the control of China and fled to Taiwan with 2 million troop and start his exile in Taiwan and government.\n\nOverall, no truce was sign, technically, China and Taiwan civil war is not yet over, but heck, who want a war in this generation?

That is an interesting question....\n\nThe obvious civil war between the communist North and the democratic South. The not so obvious civil war was probably between the Catholics and the Buddhist in South Vietnam. Howver, I think that can be described more as bloody protesting rather than a war.

You could talk about many things about the Korean War. You can talk about the war and how it lead to the Cold War and the fear of spreading Communism, you can talk about how the United States first started to integrate black and white soldiers (I think), you can talk about China's aid to the N. Koreans and how it boosted Chinese sense of nationalism, you can talk about war time propaganda that allowed the Chinese to dislike the Americans and US propaganda that allowed the Americans to dislike the Chinese, you can talk about General McArthur and his views during the Korean War (he wanted to use the Korean War to start a war with Communist China), you can talk about how the United Nations sent it's first batch of soldiers (I think), that's all I can think of. Good luck! p.s. the I thinks is what I kinda remember, but I'm not positively sure.

It's only good if your getting ready to go to war. I have heard that the Chinese are building up on their boarders, this could be the reason.

Probably one of the most brutal dictators in modern history, surpassing Hitler, and on the level of Stalin.\n\nMao came to power when he defeated nationalist forces in the late 40's. He was a very personable leader, but could not run the country, and his policies became disastrous. \n\nFor example, in the 50's, he forced many people to go work in steel mills. This lead to widespread famine & death. While no official figures are available, estimates put the death toll for this famine between 20 and 30 million.\n\nIn addition, to keep control over the country, in the 60's he created the Cultural Revolution. This revolution, which probably killed around 1-3 million people (again, only estimates), involved primarly teenagers roaming the country, buring schools and generally destroying the main pillars of civilization. Only when the Cultural Revolution factions started to fight each other, and when it appeared that civil war was once again a real possibility, did Mao call in the Chinese Army to put down the revolution & restore civilization.

ever powerful nations go underground to do their mischiefs against other nations... an inevitable war. and as usual the theme will be islam versus christianity, or democracy versus communist/ tyranny. with the most powerful nation at the forefront of everything.\nthe biggest of the economies, because of its efforts in the war... will inevitably crash.\nthen civil war (natives/ citizens against aliens), then the dreamland is no longer one. people leave to go to china. for greener pastures.\nchina grow even bigger, the usa grasps what it can to survive. the middle east still fights for its identity, which can go on for decades, loosing resources and people.\nchina will have people related problems, contolling each individual is such a meticulous task. little by little democratic practice seeps in... but they will settle to become socialist-communist (never democracy, it's in their blood). like singapore, china will become an economic giant overnight. the chinese people are not totally free, but they are content and happy.

Japan, without any provocation on the part of China, brutally attacked and subjugated Manchuria starting in 1933.  Their preferred tactics included massive amounts of propaganda, terrorizing the civilian population, wholesale slaughter of civilians, rape/"comfort women," etc.  The Nazis took a page from the Japanese playbook when they invaded eastern Europe.\nIt is not true that Mao Zhedong's communists were the only ones fighting hard against the Japanese.  That is just a small piece of the heap of communist lies.  The quality of Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist troops varied widely, but most acquitted themselves very well fighting the invaders.  In any case, Japanese terror tactics did not differentiate between communists and non-communists.\nRead the history of the "Nanking Massacre."  Read the history of the invasion, as told by foreigners and the Chinese themselves.  Don't just rely on the Japanese revisionism that persists to this day.\nIf not for the heroic efforts of the Nationalists, the Allies, and, yes, the communists, Japan would still be occupying China today.

PBS's Frontline did a 3 part series on this...\n\nI have mixed emotions and mixed opinions on what happened.\n\nYes, the Chinese government went overboard in killing so many innocent students and if you know what really happened, they weren't just students. The protests had grown to a point of attracting many many other types of ppl.\n\nNow with that said, I am going to make an extremely unpopular statement/opinion. I am a marxist at heart and have studied the writings of Lenin in depth. Lenin, while a pacifist, knew that there were times to be use force to control mutiny.\n\nLenin wrote about the ones that will try to overthrow the idealism of a fair and equal society... the ones that won't accept the weak having the same or the ones that won't accept a no class system.\n\nWhile I know this incident was not about that.. I do realize that this incident threatened the fairly new communist Chinese regime. I truly believe the Chinese regime would have been weakened had they given into the protesters due to the vast number and the length of the protest... not justifying the slaughter but saying I understand the stopping of the protest.\n\nIn that Frontline series, the Chinese government warned them.. gave them days to leave... they chose to stay. They chose their destiny.

Unfortunately there is not definition for Civil War in any Military Dictionary in the United States, and the CIA won't say because the information is classified. Experts say that due to the level of violence, the death toll and the way the Country is splitting up, it has already reached civil war status. The death toll has exceeded that of a number of civil wars in recent history although I can't remember which ones. Other experts say that if it isn't a civil war than it is much worse because instead of just two groups fighting there is fighting between the Sunni's and Shittes, different groups of Shiites fighting each other as well as Kurds fighting the Arabs. So to answer your question, our Republican Government will never admit it's in civil war until they are out of office and can blame it on the Democrats because there is no definite definition of what classifies a Civil War. But what is clear is that it is a terrible situation that could have been avoided had we had responsible people running our Government.
