The KMT has maintained that the reason the Communists won the Civil War is because the KMT exhausted all its military strength fighting Japan. Of the 22 main engagements of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the KMT was the primary and usually only Chinese participant.
How much did Soviet support help the CCP? As I understand it, the USSR initially favored the KMT over the CCP in 1945 for an unknown-to-me reason. Is that right? How much support did the surrendering Japanese army give the Communists? How important was American support for the KMT?
Who did Chinese popular opinion favor in the Civil War? We can break it down by socio-economic class like business people, farmers, land owners, intellectual, urban workers, and government officials.
