To what extent was Chaing Kai-shek’s leadership a failure? (Was the failure of the new GMD (nationalist) government inevitable?)
It can be argued that Chaing Kai-shek’s leadership was always going to fail, because he was fighting a battle that could never be won. However, through his time in power, did also have many aims and successes, which helped china and the Chinese people. Chaing Kai-shek and the GMD’s aims were imposed to help make china a more stable country. They wanted to enforce Sun Yet Sen’s three principles of the people (nationalism, democracy and social reform). However, after Sun Yet Sen’s death in 1925, Kai-shek and the GMD (nationalists) government took a in a different direction.
