Description

The First Nationalist-Communist Cooperation was established with difficulty under complicated political situations. The aim of the Cooperation was to carry out the "National Revolution". Among the members of both the Natinalist and Communist partits, existed not only personal relations but also some similarities in political thought. Both sides, however, were to employ different means to accomplish the Revolution. The Communists did not regard Nationalists (Kuomingtang) as partners in performing the Revolution. They had close relations with Ch'en Chiung-ming 陳炯明 and with Wu Pei-fu 呉佩孚, both of whom are regarded as nothing but warlords today. On the other hand, the Nationalists didn't regard the Communists as equal partners with enough political influence either. Under these circumstances, the Communist International and Soviet government tried to make Communists and Nationalists cooperate to establish a pro-Soviet power in China. However, because of the Kuomingtang's leaning towards Western powers and because of strong opposition from the Communists, it was difficult to make both sides enter the Cooperation. Finally, Communist relations with Ch'en Chiung-ming and Wu Pei-fu were ruined and Kuomingtang was not accepted by Western powers, it, therefore, became necessary for both sides to approach each other in order to form the Cooperation. However, the contradictions between the two parties became more and more serious despite their official Cooperation.
