Chinese Soviet Republic

The Chinese Soviet Republic, abbreviated to CSR, was the state established by the Communist Party of China during the 1920s. Led by Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu, the CSR lasted from 1923 through to 1930 when the Kuomintang of Chiang Kai-shek destroyed the state's military force during the Encirclement Campaign. However, the Communist Party itself has dispersed to selected base areas. There are some suspicions that the Central Plains Alliance under the control of prominent Left-Kuomintang leader Wang Jingwei may secretly harbour support for the Communist Party and its vision.
