It considers how Zhou dealt with Japanese imperialism during his midcareer, from the May Fourth Movement to the formation of the second United Front between the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the CPC against Japan, which paved the way for the Chinese victory in the second Sino-Japanese War. Addressing significant moments such as the Manchurian incident and the Xi?an Incident, it provides a thought-provoking reexamination of Zhou?s involvement in the May Fourth Movement of 1919, the first national grassroots movement in the modern history of China calling for anti-imperialism and nationalism, and also of his time in Europe, as essential background to understand the birth of the CPC and Zhou?s role in it, as well as Zhou's collaboration with Zhang Xueliang, the culprit of the Xi'an Incident. Through an in-depth analysis of primary sources, including Zhou?s own writings, the oral history of Chinese officials, and newly declassified diplomatic archives, this work presents a comprehensive and accurate account of Zhou?s career against the backdrop of Japanese imperialism. 606 $aChina?History 606 $aJapan?History 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aHistory of China$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010 606 $aHistory of Japan$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 615 0$aChina?History. 615 0$aJapan?History. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aHistory of China. 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a951 700 $aItoh$b Mayumi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0708886 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254788703321 996 $aThe Making of China?s War with Japan$92206152 997 $aUNINA
