The Nationalist Party, also known as the Guomindang, was a major political party in China from 1928 to 1949. It aimed to modernize China and establish it as a free, prosperous, and powerful nation.
Kuomintang: This is another name for the Nationalist Party. It's like calling your favorite soda by its brand name instead of just "soda."
Sun Yat-sen: He was the founder of the Nationalist Party. Like how Steve Jobs founded Apple Inc., Sun Yat-sen started this influential political party.
Chiang Kai-shek: He was a military leader who led the Nationalist Party after Sun Yat-sen's death. Imagine him as an assistant coach stepping up to lead when the head coach can't continue.
