Kuomintang Nakunatta

Kuomintang Nakunatta, coming from the Chinese word 国民党 (kuomintang) and the Japanese word 無くなった (nakunatta), means "The China Nation-People Party has Gone." It is the name, assigned by the late Japanese Empire, to a period following the Marco Polo bridge incident, in which Japan was able to negotiate and make peace between itself and China. This alternate timeline will not mention anything from our own timeline or make comparisons to it; it will act as though the events it mentions have taken place.

Timeline

 * February 15th, 1933 - Franklin D. Roosevelt was assassinated in Miami
 * July 8th, 1937 - A conflict began between the Japanese and Chinese armies in Wanping, near the Marco Polo Bridge.
 * July 31st, 1937 - Japan, in an effort to cease the growing conflict with it's neighbor, opened negotiations in Nanjing. There they asked for cooperation from the Republic of China and promised that in return they would not take anymore traditionally Chinese land. Chiang Kai-Shek - the leader of the KMT at that time - objected to Japan's terms and stated that Japan had crossed the line this time.
 * August 4th, 1937 - While moving troops to Shanghai, Chiang was unexpectedly shot by a Pro-Japanese rebel in the area. He died within three hours of the fatal wound in his side.
 * August 7th, 1937 - Without a leader, the KMT was on the verge of collapse and made the hasty decision to accept Japan's terms out of fear of the Empire's next move. The news was received well in Tokyo and August 7th became a national holiday known as 平和の日 (heiwa no hi); the "Day of Peace".
