Appearantly not. As you have some details backward. The KMT doesn't even exist until the 20's. When Sun Yat-sen st up his RC government in Nanking he fromed the KMT. Mao's communits were part of the KMT's government, not messiarily part of the party but part of the government. Until Chiang Kai-shek decided he liked Facisim better and got rid of the communists.Originally Posted by Tiberius
In the early days, the Kuomingtang was advised by the Soviets, starting with the Comintern agent Maring in 1921 and then with Mikhail Borodin starting in 1923. At the time the Northern Expedition began in 1926, the Nationalist Army had 150,000 Russian advisers. The Communists were told by Moscow to participate in the Kuomingtang Party and government. Soon this went bad, and the Communists were expelled from the Kuomingtang in 1927.
