Chiang Kai-shek
1887 CE–1975 CE · Nanjing
Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975) was a Chinese Nationalist military and political leader who headed the Republic of China for much of the twentieth century. Succeeding Sun Yat-sen as leader of the Kuomintang, he led the Northern Expedition that nominally reunified China in 1928, broke with the Communists, and directed the Chinese resistance against Japan during the Second World War. After his forces lost the resumed civil war to the Communists in 1949, he withdrew to Taiwan, where he governed the Republic of China under authoritarian one-party rule until his death in 1975.
