We have some absolutely fascinating Warlord guns! The Chinese Warlord period from 1916 to 1949 was an era of unspeakable violence, ruthlessness, and unparalleled intrigue. Allies were forged and broken at the drop of the hat as Provincial strongmen, the Warlords, assembled vast armies in their quest to control of one of the world's largest countries. Everyone needed guns, lots of them, and right away!
Curiously, most Americans have little insight into this period. We tend to think about ancient China as genteel monarchy or in more modern terms, as an aggressive Communistic powerhouse, relentless in terms of its goal for global domination.
So what was the Warlord period, and what did it have to do with small arms? Watch this video and find out.
