timeline + map + faces. a great combo for understanding and memorizing

[@tomwilliams5590]

This helped me a lot. Thank you so much. This is easy to understand and isnt confusing or overly complex

Lies again? Face Of Church

"So, Mr. Sun, tell me about how you got in power." "Well the weather in Denver was really great that afternoon..."

[@jie7532]

Have you heard of Mr. Huang Xing, he's kind of chief military leader of the revolution while Mr Sun is definitely the spiritual father of the republic idea of China, and the initiator and founder of the party called "Tong Meng Hui of China", the party that later transformed int KMT. So in history China credited Mr Sun as the father of the republic China.

One huge reason for Communist victory was because right before WW2 ended, the Soviets launched an offensive against Japan and their puppet Manchuko (Manchuria). The result was victorious for SU, and besides taking northern half of Korean peninsula, South Sakhalin and Kuril Islands, Soviets also occupied Manchuria, and soon after WW2 they gave it to the Chinese communist. This gave CCP a huge boost, since Manchuria was rich with Japanese industry, weapons, and plus additional man power.

[@billskchen3193]

In fact after the WW2, the Soviet union supported KMT more and signed a deal with ROC and not allowed CCP troops tookover big citys in Manchuria.

[@sampuatisamuel9785]

USSR not SU

[@zezezelalala7867]

come on, all the biggest cities in northeastern china, which is so called machuria, were handed over to KMT ( including three provinces' capital cities, btw there are only three provinces), it is chinese people who choosed and suppoted communist party to win.

[@andrewbirch]

@Soldat a/s it’s the CHINESE Communist Party and shall never be the party OF China.

[@ntscribe]

Thank you for the excellent description and explanation. It is amazing what a good teacher can do with a map, a timeline, and five pictures of key historical figures.

[@kianli]

Sir, the 1840-1842 Opium War launched by the British was beginning of the 100-year of humiliation, this is indeed worth mentioning if one wants to understand China.

[@sofiacaldeira8203]

Thanks for commentint this! I wont be wasting my time in this video.

[@mikeboshko2623]

That's a separate video. Boxer Rebellion and so many things. You want it all in one video, huh? Well, then, it would have a different title

[@veronicabarnes824]

This was so helpful - it is so hard to find material that helps you get started with Chinese history.

[@PHZadeW]

This is an excellent video of the History of China. I have studied this history a lil bit and I can say that this gives a pretty accurate description of the events, it obviously leaves out quite a few details and more emotional aspects, in order to simplify the video, however it's very well made and like so many of Khan Academy's videos a lot easier to understand than History at school ha ha! :)

[@slikmystar]

This khan guy knows everything about everything it will be nice if u tell us a bit about your self

[@ItsTubeGuy]

I can't explain how much this helped me!! Thank you so much!

I know the sciences and math are more practical things to teach, but to see another full fledged history lesson from you would be awe-some. AWESOME. :D

Yes man, back on the history! :D

[@devonlightbody]

Love this, please do more

[@Prymestar1]

Keep doing this great history lesson.

[@ricex2]

its interesting to hear the western version of recent china history. we got different versions here, both from the nationalist and communist, both are kind of bias to some extend.

[@QuietJagung]

Please provide the link for nationalist and communist version. Thanks.

[@goldeq8521]

Grateful for the past that created where we are now. I was born in1949 in Hong Kong I am fortunate to have very good history teachers, from school. It was quiet confusing at that time. Thank you for explaining this so well.

SO HELPFUL THANK YOU

[@Kuntyful]

great overview.....

[@carlospacheco6853]

what kind of program do you use to make these videos?

[@codyshi4743]

And speaking of Japan occupied Manchuria. The occupied Manchuria, became the Japanese Puppet State of “Manchuko”. And what’s interesting is that Manchuko is led by an emperor name Puyi, which you remember is the last emperor of China.

[@weewilly2007]

I think the voice-over narration style and production techniques speaks far more of group intention and orientation than any topic or subject cared to be broached here.So much for the age of populism and collective participation. European Imperialist painters perfected the art of capturing their royal patrons peering from high horses, always downwards on to their subjects. Newer developments have occurred since then, like global mass media organizations, very much like investment banks of recent times also, applying similar techniques to line their own pockets. instead of serving any larger ends

[@homousios]

very interesting thanks

[@Jaba6798]

Do some videos on Korean history!! It's extremely interesting.

[@hansen456852]

Thank you for creating this video. There are too many people in the world uneducated on this subject. However, the government wasn't established in Taiwan, it had already existed before the retreat to Taiwan.

[@theeboss93]

Great !

[@newmb321]

Your lectures are SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Google Classroom lectures Sal! I love your style but absolutely hate theirs.

[@1veggiemonster]

An overview of Chinese history from 1911-1949 in 10 minutes. Impressive.

thank gosh this exists

[@felipecardenasjr]

Keep doing these videos please

[@reginaspanties]

hahaha i laughed when you said that if you start learning chinese history, its goddamn confusing, because it couldnt be more true. my head has been bursting the last two days, because i have so much information from books and internet and each of them is complitely different from the other! thank you thank you thank you for this video!

[@fouriertransformationsucks438]

I thought this is an engineering channel... I didn't expect that. But the voice is as sexy as the one in the differential equation episodes.

You pronounced "Qing" correct this time. I'm impressed.

May I know y did u wrote KmT and CPC above

I want to learn more about Chinese history, and it's hard to find interesting but simple material online, as an English-speaking Chinese. This was super well-explained, and the visual aids helped a lot, thank you!

[@simonsimon2888]

What is Sun yat-sen's villa doing in Ah Hood Road, Singapore? The bungalow is still there. Feel free to visit.

[@somadenmoo2138]

please explain briefly opium war too...

[@corpusinnominata401]

That was before 1911.

[@corpusinnominata401]

Wasn't "Emperor" Puyi only five years old at the time? Who was really in charge? Was it Empress Dowager Cixi?

[@zenithzero6354]

Cixi was dead already. Empress Dowager Longyu was de jure in charge and Yuan Shikai was de facto in charge.

[@wesleyqiu2204]

pretty clear time schedule.

[@simonsimon2888]

You did not mention about the Sun sisters with Chiang Kai Shek.

[@perunproductions9126]

The History of China is very interesting, an interesting question is what if the Manchu Restoration had succseeded? would China be a Monarchy again? would they have support from Japan?

[@SG-yj9qt]

Thanks

[@Gmailkonto23]

Well made Overview! But pretty basic.

[@orenji494]

How do you know everything??

[@spike378]

u should get in more details between civil war and end of japan imperialism!

[@itsonlyeric8505]

i have a question, was the government under sun yat sen after the xinhai revolution in 1912 the same government under taiwan today?

[@The_Art_of_AI_888]

Not really, It was The Kuomintang (KMT) party that founded the ROC and later retreated into Taiwan, establishing govt administration there. But nowadays Taiwan is under the control of the DPP which was founded in recent decades...(1986).

[@Patiste96]

Thank You! I knew nothing about China Pre 1949 ! I knew a little about 1950-1980 China.I know little about China today except it is a country that cannot or should not be ignored. i am most grateful for your patience towards my ignorance. Pls visit me again khanacademy ! .

[@Ermite777]

This is how history should be taught.

[@glammyboy84]

The Chinese Communist Party knew how to use the potential of rural population, the bigger sector. KMT had more money and controlled the economical regions like Shangai but they never had real control in the inland, the rural areas, where the influence of Chinese Communists was evident (more focusing in the rural than russian communists) and supposed a big human capital, essential and the key under a good leadership for win the war.

[@rossarmstrong6731]

Excellent primer.. Is there any chance of explaining the politics of Taiwan.. It seems like a minefield of complexities. I'm moving there soon and I don't want to tread on peoples sensibilities. Many thanks.

[@capeecle]

This partially explains that China-Taiwan issue is really an internal issue that the outsiders really should avoid getting involved unless it threatens the safety of other countries.

[@user-uj5gf3ix7z]

CCP is equal to North Korea and North VietNam,it's a fake communism foreign state power.

[@alexanderk2250]

not really, because taiwan controls 80% of the world's manufacturing capacity to create microprocessing chips, necessary in all aspects of modern life.

[@parthperygl4286]

Great video! Terrible pronunciation of the various Chinese names involved, but very informative and well presented.

[@karlpopper601]

excellent ! China issue is a world issue ,because it is too big and has too many people. Look forward to your interpretation of China 1949-now ! I wish you would do it more elaborate.

[@DaJalster28]

damn right!

[@AndroidGZS]

Next, you can talk about Deng Xiao Ping and his market reforms.
