Chinese Civil War (Part 2)

[@UTLB666]

Damn, this is really good. I thought this was just going to be another oversimplified-style KZbinr, but this is better than every other one I've seen. I look forward to seeing what else you have cooking!

[@FoxZrYT]

As a local student from Hong Kong. I never liked studying Chinese history due to it being too complex and confusing. But your videos make it sound as interesting as oversimplifed! 加油(๑Ő௰Ő๑) Please keep making more

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

谢谢😊

[@Jingzhounese]

Really enjoyed these 2 videos! You should make more, bring our history to the global audience

[@SpeedDemon_Editzzz]

Just subbed Keep making more History content Believe me there are more History Nerds out there like me💯

[@BoredDomino]

Great videos, keep it up !

[@NormalDay1989]

Wow, this is just really good! Hope to see a great leap forwards video

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

Thanks, all suggestions are welcome.

[@morschlein2163]

Another awesome video. The first one was already amazing but this one is just as good. It's cool that someone is actually covering this subject of history.

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

Thank you! I will make more videos on Chinese history.

[@NiskaMagnusson]

good stuff! I wonder if having people volunteer to voice act as the different characters would make this more fun in your future videos? Best of luck with it!

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

Thanks, I will think about it.

[@prottoya.muntasir8841]

Keep them coming sis. 加油

[@mikkovaittinen3835]

Really good two viedos about Chinese Civil War. Keep up a good work.

[@carlosavendano9420]

This is actually cool, keep the good job 😮

[@krishna_pandey24]

Great job 👏😊even better its from ethnic chinese As a old oversimplified viewer this is quite the same quality with uniqueness

[@Infoflexy]

better than all the other oversimplified inspired people, this one is awesome, especially about a complicated and lesser-known war like the Chinese Civil War (at least in the Western World). thank you for bringing attention to this war that it deserves!

[@Philippineballツ]

dude you have potential to be successful and also be popular

[@Surge127-h7l]

One part that is pretty much a side note was left out that was when KMT forces crossed from Yunnan into Burma forming the Yunnan Province Anti-Communist National Salvation Army until many fled to Taiwan and others joined the Burmese communists with those who stayed later forming the Wa state

[@krishna_pandey24]

Never heard the story from a ethnic chinese great perspective❤subbed

[@multitrillionaire4]

Ive been lookijg for videos about this these days, this is exactly what i was looking for

[@JaydonNg-e2q]

Keep it up man! Please also make a few more videos about Chinese history, including the Great Leap Foward, the Cultural Revolution and the Second Sino Japanese War. -and lets not forget about the funny June 4th incident-

[@albertofrankdiaz6664]

this need to be more popular

[@JohnJohnsong]

You know, it's nice hearing someone from China (i assume they're from China due to the accent and also them replying to some comments in Mandarin) talk about Chinese history. I've seen a lot of people from Europe and the US talk about Chinese history, but it's refreshing hearing someone who's actually Chinese talk about Chinese history

[@Lilxiao-420]

I love your contents

[@stuuuuuuuupid1]

You should make a video about the boxer rebellion some day!

[@MrLolx2u]

There's alot of things to unpack here. Specifically Peng Dehuai and the whole post-WWII China and Chiang's stupid antics. So during the whole phase of the Japanese invasion, the KMT was the one taking the brunt of the attacks whereas the CCP was busy building strength right under the noses of the KMT. Not only that, they mostly didn't engage in open warfare with the Japanese but often slam into their rear lines and wreck havoc. Even during their famed Hundred Regiment Offensive that Peng Dehuai made his name from, they still didn't engage much in open warfare with the Japanese unlike the KMT forces thus despite losing men here and there due to retaliatory Japanese actions, they were able to keep their manpower as it wasn't enmassse loss of numbers unlike the KMT who were losing upwards of 100,000 men per battle. When the war end, the manpower figure of each military stands with the KMT having a manpower size of 4.2mil men total whereas the CCP was just at 700,000. 700,000 might seem puny against the KMT's 4 million men but you have to think that during the Long March, Mao was left with 8-15k men and from 1937 which was the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War to the end in 1945, in just 8 years and on the land of active warfare, the CCP grew 5x in size which is impressive as heck. Not only that, now with Soviet support in Manchuria, they gain supplies, guns left behind by the Japanese and even monetary support from them. On the other hand, the bulk of the KMT for the war was overburdening the already thin and corrupt KMT coffers. Not only that, with the lands ravaged by the bombs and millions of soldiers or farming communities that were ravaged by those savage Japanese, there's in no way that anyone could farm the lands again causing massive food shortages. Even supplies became a problem as imported goods were slow due to many damaged ports need repairs thus inflation skyrocketed. It also didn't help that factories that were producing goods were also destroyed and with China being an agrarian culture, that was a massive blow to the industry that were already close to non-existent pre-war. Yet Chiang, being an idiot and egoistical moron that he was, didn't understand any of this and went to war straight with the CCP after the Japanese surrender. It also didn't help that due to inflation and straight up massive corruption where even officers were not paid their salaries that they had to resort to banditry to survive, robbing the very people that already had nothing.. Over nothing. Thus when the CCP started their major offensive, many KMT officers just straight up gave up the fight and surrendered with their men in the thousands as the prospect of having food and a stipend from the Communist side was way better than watching a collapsing government default on their payment and not even offering their soldiers food.

[@sandysfireworks]

i cant believe that you not even that known. your videos are entertaining and have a very similarly concept of oversimplified. keep up the work!

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

Thank you, glad you like them.

[@8thLegio]

Subbed!

[@Lilxiao-420]

Good video

[@harkchhun9003]

New sub keep up the good work

[@coylaxy7868]

Pillering loves ur content btw

[@kazaddum2448]

Stalin did not declare war "a few days before the japanese surrender", the Japanese Empire surrendered because the USSR declared war and rapidly liberated Manchuria and Korea. Until then Japanese Government had hoped that the USSR would mediate peace conditions between them and the other allies. You got it exactly backwards.

[@shanlander-d8w]

This is literally just semantics, what was said by her was true.

[@CommanderTimskyYT]

am now your new sub

[@MFTQ]

Holy shit a good video about Chinese history!!!

[@INLIGHTOFHISTORTYANDOTHE-px7mf]

This is really good

[@OnionIlan]

this is amazing

[@helinn6140]

Good videos!

[@tkm238-d4r]

Interesting video but some errors. Tibet during this time should be highlighted as light blue since Lhasa never officially seceded and never intended to do so. Furthermore the Lhasa regime controlled the western and central portions of what would later be known as Tibetan Autonomous Region. The Eastern Portion was under Sikang Province. Furthermore the status of Mongolia was only sorted out in Oct 1949. Perhaps a future version of the map would be highlight the official borders of the ROC in black lines while using white lines to denote the various de facto zones of control.

[@thegalaxyx1]

Underrated

[@cyrusholeuwu4074]

Cool, we got Asian Female Oversimplified before GTA VI

[@fachi34]

Oversimplified never gave China much attention, aside from a brief mention of Mao Tse-Tung and the victory of the Chinese Communist Party during the civil war. He also never made a separate video on the Russian Civil War, the Korean Civil War, or the Vietnam Civil War. At most, any mentions of these events were used to briefly contextualize the actual topic of the video. It’s nice to see his format but for events like the Chinese Civil War.

[@Lilxiao-420]

I am wondering ,can you also post Chinese history videos on Chinese social media ❤

[@Sergeantford]

"he was convinced" *black screen with the words threatened.*

[@gm_motion6959]

You legit could be a successor to oversimplified. If you upload on new topics, and keep being simple fans of oversimplified (like myself) will begin to watch your work. Good job! Could you do other videos on Asian topics. Or others. (Stuff like the Indochina wars, Chinese invasion of India that was overshadowed by the Cuban missile crisis, Cultural revolution, or even korean war!)

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

What you suggested are very interesting topics. The sino-Indian war was probably not overshadowed by the Cuban missile crisis by coincidence, it was a deliberate choice made by mao.

[@gm_motion6959]

@ ppl kinda forget it happened.

[@mordechaimandel8118]

@NorthStar-Beichen Do the red turban rebellion!

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

Yeah that can be interesting too, or the founding of the Ming dynasty. Thanks for suggesting.

[@NobleDorito8698]

Oversimplified inspired animation i see. Also,are you a girl or a kid?

[@quangminhdinh9819]

serveral things i want to mention: - At first USSR still not accepting CCP existance due to they still remain the treaty with KMT, but after USA sending 50.000 marine troops from Okinawa to Hebei and Shandong due to their "peace sustain", Stalin changed his mind and make easier conditions for Mao to get Manchuria earlier than KMT by a month - One more reason Chiang stopped the Manchuria campain against Lin Biao is that Marshall threaten that Truman will sanction ROC, which unfortunately came true in 1946 - The ROC main weakness not only sanction, but also corruption inside the government, economy heavily relied on 4 big family capitalist - causing inflation. The most important thing is that the Republic of China is still divided among the warlords (Shanxi clique, Ma clique, Xinjiang clique, Yunnan clique, still working on their own and not follow Chiang-kai-shek rules, even during the sino-japanese war), which make ROC more vulnerable to Mao - What worse was that the moment CCP captured Nanjing, Chiang-kai-shek escaped with all resources worth 200 million USD and left the main ROC government controlled by vice-president Li Zongren, which made the ROC more divided and more vulnerable. - Chiang-kai-shek once consider Hainan island as his final standpoint - When CCP declare its existance in 1949, ROC government in Yunnan still exist. We have a vietnamese video which covered this event, very quality product: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX6nd3eNadSgptEsi=0c_EgcYY5gRDO2eI

[@alpha-raygaming5252]

Yo, I posted a really chunky comment which I wanted to discuss over and now I can't find it 😭. I spent like 5 minutes on that.

[@MeowketMeowket]

Bro this could be a oversimplified filler episode

[@alpha-raygaming5252]

Can you post KZbin videos on Chinese WIFI? If you can does the government have to assess and make you edit it?

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

I am not living in China. Even if I was, it’s fairly easy to use a VPN to access KZbin. I won’t mention NordVPN here because they are not paying me to say it. (Oops, did I just mention it?)

[@alpha-raygaming5252]

@NorthStar-Beichen Yea kinda rude of me to make that assumption but I hope you don't feel bad because the core of the question simply came to me out of the blue and the assumption came later.

[@NorthStar-Beichen]

No worries. I am glad that you asked what was on your mind because it gave me the opportunity to clarify. People get to know different countries, cultures and each other through communication, part of the reason why I started this channel.

[@alpha-raygaming5252]

@NorthStar-Beichen That's a good reason. 😎👉👉
