After the republican revolution, the country entered an era of crises. The Kuomintang (National People’s Party) tried to unify the nation and bring stability and the Chinese Communist Party became the most powerful one. The base of the political vision of Kuomintang was the ideas of Sun Yatsen. They put forward 4 great principles: clothes, food, shelter, and travel.
After the death of Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kaishek became the leader of Kuomintang. In 1928, a national government was formed by Kuomintang. Chiang Kai- shek was the President of the government. Kuomintang government was a failure. The causes for its failure were its narrow social base and narrow political vision. The Party ignored the farmers. It did not take into account the increasing social inequalities. The Chiang government could not carry out Socialism, which was the main principle of Sun Yatsen’s scheme for China. The Chiang government tried to impose a military order and suppress protests instead of solving popular problems.
