At first in August of 1945, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Nationalists made a treaty to have the dispute be peaceful, but in 1946, they were both fighting over China once again.

Following WWII, the Allied powers split up the Korean peninsula similarly to how Germany had been divided, with the Soviets controlling the North and the US controlling the South. This led to a communist North Korea and non-communist South Korea, and when these two wanted to unify, both wanted to do so on their premises. The North, then attacked the South to take over as a way to unify, leading to a war between the two. The US, as well as other countries, entered the conflict between the nations in order to combat or advocate for the spread of communism. The United States, one of the countries opposing communism under was led at this time by President Harry Truman.
Following the liberation, Korea was divided by zones of occupation; the Soviet Union took control of the north and the United States took control of the south. Each country provided the military and financial support for the northern and southern regions. In the American occupation government of the south, Seungman Rhee was elected as the first president of Korea in 1945. Under the Soviets, a man named Kim Il Sung was strongly influenced by communist ideas and set out to establish a new kind of government.

In this review he argues against Kataoka’s claims that the resistance to Japan, especially in its urban impact, may be a more significant explanation of the CCP in the Chinese Civil War than Mao Tse-tun’s 1928 rural policy. Seybolt stats that without Mao focus and peasant support on the rural areas, the CCP would have never gain enough manpower or strength to stand toe to toe with Japan and the Nationalist in the first place. In Garver’s “The Origins of the Second United Front: The Comintern and the Chinese Communist Party,” is focused on the Comintern and its role in the formation of the CCP-KMT Second United Front. He argues that it is important to recognize and understand Moscow’s role during the pivotal year and a half prior to the Xian Incident, and especially of possible conflict between the Comintern and Mao Zedong, over the issue of a united front with Chiang Kai-shek. Lastly, Zhang and Weatherley’s “Owning up to the Past: The KMT’s Role in the War against Japan and the Impact on CCP Legitimacy,” examines the emerging debate in China over the true contribution made by the KMT in the war against
This demonstrates ideology because the Japanese government controlled the school systems and the children were being indoctrinated with imperialist ideologies. Additionally, children were taught absolute obedience to the emperor and state so they had no voices. This leads to Japanese citizens strongly believing that Chinese people were the enemy. The Japanese citizens followed this belief from a young age, which made them much less likely to rebel against totalitarian ideas. This brought the Japanese government closer to asserting total control over their citizens.

The Korean Empire was formed when China lost the First Sino-Japanese War and Korea left the Chinese tributary system. It was dissolved in 1910 when Korea was annexed by the Japanese empire.
