Now that were back form France we're also back to regular uploads ;-)

While writing about China and Chiang Kai-shek Spartacus realised that he needed to make more than one script to explain The Northern Expedition (crucial to the developments that eventually lead to the World war in China), so we threw in another episode in 1926 to explain Chiang Kai-shek's rise to power. In the next episode (1927 part 1) we will return to the United States and look at the economic boom and the Roaring Twenties. We will also return to China and the actual Northern Expedition in a 1927 episode after that/ Enjoy the confusion that is China in the 1920s!?!

This was an amazing episode, but you left out a big reason Stalin didn't sweat Chiang Kai shek's consolidation of power. His son Chiang Ching kuo had travelled to Moscow the previous year and was still living there.

Meant to put a line break and the answer but can't do that on mobile without posting the comment. Anyway, Chiang Ching kuo, Chiangs only natural born son, was in Moscow and would stay there for the next ten years.

It doesn't hurt Chiangs courage, but it almost certainly factored in to Stalin's calculus about not trying to block Chiangs ascension. It seems like a big omission to leave among the "perhaps" after "we shall never know why." It's probably to late to put it in this episode but please mention this in the 1927 episode when covering the purge of the communists.
