It is often forgotten, but we must not forget that the consequences of this civil war have had a huge impact on world history since then

It's such a huge conflict that has shaped south Asia for years

I am from Taiwan. Regardless of the accuracy of the numbers cited, this clip gives the right perspective of the current situation across the Taiwan Strait, which is just a continuation of the ongoing Chinese Civil War that has lasted for a century, and none of outsiders' business any more than the American Civil War was outsiders' business.

So many people revived as the casualties decreased for both sides lmao

Unfortunately, the animation explains nothing at all. It completely ignores the conflict between China and the USSR and the war with Japan as well. It also remains completely unclear how a few thousand remaining Reds became a few million by the end of the World War II and where they had all been in the meantime.

Mao knew a lot about the art of war.

this is awesome, i wish they had this during my school years, this helps make a lot of senses for many historical events.

finally someone did this, thank you🙏

One of the most important civil wars in history.

Hi I’m Taiwanese 🇹🇼 國共內戰這段歷史對我們來說非常重要，它影響我們很多。 謝謝做了這個影片讓大家更了解這場戰爭

Muchas gracias por subir este contenido nos sirve mucho para aprender sobre este conflicto tan desconocidopor aqui

Awesome Job on the video 👍

Coolest map video I've seen in a while good video

I love the all of your video formats what do you use to create these?

How do you do encirclements? Please make a tutorial on it or explain it in this reply... (IM DYING TO KNOW PLEASE)

Great video 😎!!!

good work!

Idea: Syrian Civil War

蒋介石本人也很有喜剧天赋

4:05 you forgot to put some red dots on Taiwan

As a Chinese I don’t have preference to either party. I support whichever party that can let China be strong. I support whichever party that knows when to partner with other superpowers and when to break up. I object whichever party that is a puppet of other superpower.

You need to give some legends on what the colors represent.

Let's goooo! Mapsinanutshell drop out Chinese Civil War!

2:38 damn impressive to go from 10,000 against 617,000 to conquering all of China

During the period of the Chinese nation, the two major political parties engaged in a struggle, and ultimately the opposition Communist Party defeated the ruling Kuomintang in politics, military affairs, and popular support, gaining the governing power of the Chinese nation.. Starting to carry out in-depth political reforms and change the country's name.. After losing political power, the Kuomintang did not accept reality... Eventually, with the support of external forces, it led to years of separation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Wow new comparison Strength❤❤

when a country was dealing both outer invaders and inner concept defferences at the same time and restood again.....

Would be nice to add in the context that the Sino-Japanese war/WW2 occurred during this same period when both sides formed temporary alliance against a common enemy, so the civil war was not a continuous conflict but went on and off. It'd also be nice to know if the casualty numbers include the S-J war casualty or just for the civil war, given that for many years the Japanese war was the major conflict.

Well done, very detailed and Accurate😎

Sources?

The relationship between two sides of Taiwan strait is a civil war, suspended but not end

can you do one on Sri Lankan Civil War?

02:08-02:38 The Long March, the military retreat where the red army, under Mao' guidance, waged a guerrilla war, almost completely destroyed (less than 10k remained), cornered by the nationalists, managed to squeeze its way thru south and central China to meet up with Xi Zhongxun (Xi Jinping's father) in the safe haven region in the northern China.

Nice video

What a miracle, the KMT had a such large territory in mainland China in 1958

I will say that at some moments especially about 10-20 seconds before it goes to skip over the second sino Japanese war, the casualties start going downwards which, makes no sense. However still good video

I think the data in this table is very wrong. First of all, the number of casualties is very different, whether it is recorded in Wiki or anywhere else. Also, the military strength, it is obvious that the communist army could not have such a high number of troops and casualties during the Sino-Japanese War. I hope you can correct these numbers

见过把藏南抠掉的，没见过把北疆抠掉的

Thank you comrades!

The long march is still one of the greatest maneuvers

this video perfectly explained why TaiWan is a part of China.

Least deadly Chinese war:

nice remake video

Yees, new window “Strength” 🎉🎉

Let's go. Thank you for making this. I'm Chinese American!!

2:06 i love how these little red dots move lol

What program do you use for do this?

How can I create videos like yours?

Another banger 👌

Sometimes he asked me if North Korea would have ceased to exist if nationalist China won the civil war against the communists.

One of the worst events in human history, thanks Truman!

Tibet area never claimed itself an independent state during 1912-1949. And why in this video, North part of Xinjiang belongs to Soviet Union even till 1960? Obviously untrue.

Japan made a big difference

pls make more videos on the napoleonic wars

if possible can you add subtitles, thanks

im a huge fan remember me bro

同じ民族なのに何故こんなに長く戦争が続いたのですか？ 対日本で中盤は手を組んでいたのに？

Can you do the Thebes-Sparta war from the 370s BCE?

For anyone wondering, the 2 parties allied against the Japanese invasion to protect the country.

Casualties >Strength😅???

Changed the world forever

Could you do american revolutionary war next

The numbers in this video are completely wrong. In 1937, the Chinese Red Army numbered tens of thousands, and in 1945, it numbered about 1 million. The number of casualties of the People's Liberation Army is far lower than that of the Kuomintang, and this is true in any war period.

48 and 49 is the saddest moments in Chinese history :/

Basically the Qing Ming war part 2 (Im surprised how the qing ming war had more casualties

This war is what caused the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and changed the Cold War on the Pacific side.

孫中山總理🇹🇼🇹🇼😢

The map is inaccurate regarding Xinjiang. The Second East Turkestan Republic collapsed in the late 1940s and most of the territory was captured by the PLA by 1950 or during the 1950s. Please correct it.

Great video!

Can you map of the Great War of Africa please?

One of the greatest underdog stories of all time.

That’s a lot of casualties

Its incredible to think how the CCP was almost completely destroyed twice against an organized way bigger and supported army (for a while even the USSR supported the KMT) but still came on top truly the most underdog story in history.

Chivil War

中華民國萬歲🇹🇼

when ROC lost the Manchuria in the civil war ,which was the most developed area in Asia that day, they were doomed to lose the whole war.

In reality number of casualties is not known at all. Even the number of inhabitants is China was unknown.

Whenever you see a map on which Tibet is excluded from China as for 1912 ~ 1947, the map is just bs. Even at its weakest moment, legitimate Chinese government of the period made enormous efforts to ascertain its authority over Tibetan local government, it even, by persuasion, defeated vicious British plot to lure Tibetan officials who were ignorant about int'l law into admitting British privilege in Tibet. Some may argue there was signed papers on which Tibetan local government declared independence way earlier than the collapse of the Qing empire, but that was a scam. When Tibet undisputed Chinese soil back then, the local level authorities had no such right to sign anything with a foreign governmental body without permission and consent from the central government unless otherwise stated, which is the conventional practice even in contemporary world politics. China can’t sign treaties with Texas or Scotland or Catalonia to declare them independent states, neither could the British nor the Raj do so to Chinese land.

0:09 the nationalists started reviving men, amazing fortune....

Can you do angola civil war Please

This War bigger than Eastern Front

I understand that the people of mainland China wants to live peacefully without the rule of foreign colonizers. But the communists did not take Taiwan, therefore they shall not have Taiwan.

In fact the Communists never took the Kinmen and Matsu Islands which are on the east coast near Taiwan. You mislabeled them as red.

What's going on in Xinjiang? It's missing, isn't it

Good video map. You need a key though.

This time evil has won. :(

The tragedy of humanity

Yay new video

0:09 Bro got revived lol

This map forget that KMT fought its best trained against Japan while PLA was busy hiding and buildings its strength .

The PLA almost got obliterated in the 1930s... Then in 1951 it was winning 3 wars at the same time (the civil war, the korea war and the tibet....liberation)

Why did you skip the whole war?

anyway, CPC won this war and ROC can only exists on some small islands.

3:03 how did the casualties go down ☠️

Full support ROC (Taiwan) from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️ 🇹🇼

可以根据时间把旗子改一下。。。

得民心者得天下

You might wanna check your casualty and strength numbers, how did CCP have more running total casualty than strength LOL. Did they call upon ghost army like Aragorn?

Chinese Strength and Casualities before 1937:😊🙂👍 Chinese Strength and Casualities after 1937:💀💀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☠☠☠☠💪
