Why couldn't a faction conquer Europe?

[lars573]

The Qing fell, China was under KMT rule, which was eventually overthrown by the Communist Party. Please don't state things you're not sure about. China has still got the conquests made during the Qing dynasty, the land before it, and Tibet.

Oh but I am sure. And your data is slightly flawed. The KMT was one of the political factions that were forced to work togehter to fight the warlords and eventually the Japanese. Mao's communits and red army were part of the "government" headed by the KMT. The republic of China was a joke. It was the interim chaos until a new political dynasty took over. As usually happens when an old dynasty crumbles. I only said that the PRC was created 55 year ago by Mao. I was off by 2 years but that's it.

And the PRC is missing about 1/6 of the Qing empire. The Qings ruled over all of the PRC (Tibet is part of the PRC so get over it) and Taiwan. Plus Mongolia, and the only reason neithre Mao nor Chang Kai-shek went after it was because of mother Russia supporting Mongolian independance. And both Koreas.
