World War II and the Second United Front (jan 1, 1937 – jan 1, 1945)
Description:
During WWII, Japan's invasion demanded the formation of a second united front. However, this time the KMT was forced to fight the Japanese at the front lines rather than the CCP. Chiang Kai-shek removed his troops to avoid high casualties and they turned and displayed aggression to the communists, ending the front.
