Insurgent fighting continued throughout the 1930s and the World War II period. Much of this activity was associated with the growth of the Communist movement in rural areas throughout northern China and Manchuria. Political agreements near the war's end in 1945 between United States president Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin and the Chinese Nationalists allowed the Soviets to enter Manchuria during the last week of fight ...

... china had neither the knowledge nor the power that would have been necessary to cope with the superior science, technology, economic organization, and military force that expanding West brought to bear on it. The general sense of national weakness and humiliation was rendered still keener by a unique phenomenon, the modernization of Japan and its rise to great power status. Japan's success threw China's failure into sharp remission. The Japanese performance contributed to the discrediting and collapse of China's imperial system, but it did little to make things easier for the subsequent successor. The Republic was never able to achieve territorial and national unity in the ...

... was abruptly awoken from his house by a bomb, everyone was seeing red, so to speak. Instantaneously fingers were being pointed in the immediate direction of the Communist Party.

Another major invention of the Chinese, that led to other achievements, is steel. The common belief today is that Henry Bessemer discovered the process of refining iron into stee ...

Upon arriving at Ellis Island immigrants underwent questioning, medical examinations, and other upsetting ordeals.
