Economically, politically, and militarily, its power and international reach is only exceeded by the United States, the world's one remaining superpower. The period from the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 through to the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War ending in 1949 was one of near-constant conflict that saw China emerge as a fledgling new world power. Militarily at least, this is the defining period in Chinese history. In this new study, Philip Jowett traces the complicated military history of China during these pivotal years, describing in detail the conflicts that forge the modern superpower that is China today. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 395-397) and index. 505 0 $a The sleeping dragon -- Brutal awakening, 1894-1911 -- Revolution, 1911-20 -- High warlordism, 1920-28 -- Undeclared conflict, 1928-37 -- Full-scale war, 1937-41 -- World war in the east, 1941-45 -- Red victory, 1946-49. 651 0 $a China $x History, Military $y 1644-1912. 651 0 $a China $x History, Military $y 1912-1949. 650 0 $a Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Civil War, 1945-1949. 611 27 $a Civil War (China : 1945-1949) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352298 611 27 $a Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431391 648 7 $a 1644 - 1949 $2 fast 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1506/2013388047-d.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1506/2013388047-b.html 941 $a 1 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926094923.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0636CDDEC97F11E5960577D3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOLInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
