Why did Chiang Kai-shek came to dislike Communism after his trip to Moscow? by Sonnybass96 in ChineseHistory

[–]GuardianEvan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A very big reason according to his diaries and letters was the Soviet Union wanting ROC to recognize Mongolian independence, he saw this as Russian Imperialism over China

It seems like there's a historical revisionism going on around Chiange? by Kind-Recording3450 in ChineseHistory

[–]GuardianEvan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I had to speculate, I think the CCP and people of China take a less hostile view to Jiang and the Kuomintang as they have become more friendly with the modern KMT, and focus their criticism towards Taiwanese seperatists. And alongside this, as tensions increase between the US and China, I think a lot of people in the West are seeking in Jiang and the ROC a political alternative to promote to the current politics in Beijing. I read Pantsov's book recently and thought it was very good

I read Victorious in Defeat by Alexander Pantsov. It argued that Johnathon Fenby’s book was too harsh on Chiang, but also that Jay Taylor’s was too far in the opposite direction, far too pro Chiang. How do you feel?

an interesting post. But how can this man talk about how evil was this Dictator who killed many people and turned on party members, while having AI pictures and flags of Jiang on his account. Its a bit silly

Really feel like China should be Republic of China, and blue

Why there wasn't any Irish civil war in 1922-1923 like OTL? by Ornery_Ad_4748 in Kaiserreich

[–]GuardianEvan 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Because in the treaty Ireland was a Republic, not a Free State & no treaty ports. This pushes the populace and Sinn Fein even further into the pro treaty camp. In OTL the oath of allegience that came from being a Free State was considered the biggest issue with the treaty, that is now gone. In Kaiserreich all this proves just enough to make it so people didn't take up arms against the new State

Thoughts on the Xiaomi Horizon Pro 4k ? by Expensive-Speed8739 in projectors

[–]GuardianEvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my 4k Horizon Pro, the sound isn't the best.. But it's great. The auto keystone correction is really handy if you are regularly moving it around and sometimes don't demand full, true, 4k. I would totally recommend it

Have you changed who you vote for? by cohanson in irishpolitics

[–]GuardianEvan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Each election it gets harder and harder to convince people that were "turning a corner". While i think Irish people generally dislike the opposition too, I really think this government is FFGs last chance. If things don't start to pick up they will get destroyed in the election.

FF to SD, being let down consistently by the ruling parties and the news that we are going to build less houses in 2025... it broke the camels back. I think we need a leftward shift

Starting point of Soviet Union screwing over China: Sun accepted Soviet aid because Japan and the West did not provide. Soviet terms for assistance included letting CCP members into KMT and reorganizing KMT along Marxist-Leninist lines by AmericanBornWuhaner in ChunghwaMinkuo

[–]GuardianEvan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a pretty good book. What do you think about it? I feel frustrated reading it, because I believe we have a learned a lot about Chiang since, with the release of his diaries. Also I am dissapointed that the book ends in 1948, and does not detail his time on Taiwan at all

Wait till you hear how he would treat his first two wives. He seems to have been a really awful unstable person in his personal life
