Intro: The major opposition to Mao would be the GuoMingDang (China Nationalist Party). During Mao’s reign over the Communist Party, Chiang Kai Shek was currently the one in charge. The differences between the parties eventually erupted into the Chinese Civil War. This war lasted from April 1927 to May 1950, although there was a brief interruption from 1937 to 1946 as both sides joined in an unofficial alliance to fight the Japanese.

The Split: In 1926, the GuoMingDang had divided into two parts (left wing and right wing). This is due to the fact that the Communist memebers within the party were growing. In March 1926, during the Zhongshan Warship Incident, after thwarting an alleged kidnapping attempt against him, Chiang imposed restrictions on CCP (Chinese Communist Party) members' participation in the top KMT (abbreviation for KuoMingTang, or GuoMingDang) leadership and emerged as the pre-eminent KMT leader. According to Mao, Chiang's tolerance for the CCP decreased as his power increased.
