Abstract

After the first Nationalist-Communist Cooperation, the initial systematic peasant movement in China was started in Kwangtung Province. In these days, there were various military factions in the Province and the Nationalist Party's strength was extremely weak. There was an absolute necessity for the Nationalist Party to organize peasants. Leaders of these peasant movements were members of the Communist Party. When agrarian societies were beginning to form at various places, there were conflicts occurring between the societies and the "settlement cooperations" which were authoritarian structure by the proprietary classes in villages. From the side of the Nationalist Party which denying any class strife, accusation was concentrated on the members of the Communist Party that they were ruling peasant movements to cause conflicts in vain. In the process of province unification, however, development of agrarian societies turned at least favarable to the Nationalist Party. Upon unification of Kwangtung Province, the Nationalist Party failed to respond to the peasants' demands. About peasants' resistance they accused it of administrative interference. Accusation was also made to the conflicts between the "settlement cooperations" and agrarian societies that they were disturbing public peace and order. Furthermore, the initiation of subjugation over the North contained the peasants' demands under the name of maintenance of stability and peace on the civilian front. On the other hand most of the peasant movements were weak excepting those at very limited districts. Moreover, being the base behind the line of subjugation, a slogan for accession to power in villages could not be carried out in the Province. Having come to such a complete standstill, peasant movements in Kwangtung Province were being crushed down.
