Biografia de Chang Kai-shek

biografiasyvidas.com →

Chiang Kai-shek ejerció prácticamente una dictadura personal de ideología conservadora, pues intentaba recuperar la armonía social tradicional que predicaba Confucio ; el poder fue repartido entre cuatro grandes familias, todas ellas ligadas al dictador: los Chang, los Sung, los Kung y los Chen. El contenido nacionalista del movimiento quedó resaltado al obtener de los occidentales la devolución de algunas concesiones coloniales; en cambio, abandonó objetivos sociales como la reforma agraria, que había defendido durante el periodo de alianza con los comunistas.
