China reformed its government and military, establishing the Republic of China Armed Forces in 1936. In 1937, the Second Sino-Japanese War began with the Japanese invasion of China via its puppet state, Machuko. The Japanese forces were stopped outside of Beijing, and in 1937 and 38, many vicious counterattacks against the Japanese led to the fall of Machuko and the Treaty of Seoul signed in late-1938. China rebuilt its nation and modernized the Chinese army with equipment purchased from the US. In 1944, Japan "was on its knees", with the "barrel" of America pointed "down its throat" and the "knife" of China at its "neck". The Japanese would not surrendur to the US or China. President Truman and President Chiang Kai-shek authorized the atomic bombings of Nagaski, Hiroshima, and Yokohama. Two B-29 Strafortress were used, one nicknamed the "Enola Grey" and the other nickname the "Shek Grey" commisioned the bombings. Hiroshima and Nagaski were hit by the Enola Gray on two seperate days, and Yokohama was hit by the Shrek Gray on the day after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagaski.

Post-war and 1950s.
After World War II, China occupied the northern section of the Korean Peninsula, while the US occupied the southern portion. In 1948, the governments of China and the US agree to the unification of Korea, which occured in 1949 and early-1950. American and Chinese troops stayed in Korea until 1955 to help train and build the Republic of Korea Armed Forces. China also asssited in the reconstruction of Japan and the formation of the Republic of Japan.

1950s to 1980s
The Cold War began in 1955, when Russian and Chinese forces moved to the border to face off against each other, while American and NATO forces move to the border of the Warsaw Pact to stand off. All five superpowers remained on high alert until 1960.

At the end of 1960, the Republic of Indochina was formed and became an regional power. China was alert of the actions of Indochina and moved more of its forces to the border when the northern provinces, mainly communist, moved forces to the borders. The southern nationalist provinces, however were supporting China. All this led to the Indochinese Civil War.

Another stand off was the Guam Missile Crisis, when American missiles were being installed on Guam, which is close to the Republic of China and not so far away from Korea and Russia. China opposed this, and moved its North Pacific Fleet to blockade Guam. The US removed its missiles in 1967 and the Chinese North Pacific Fleet was put back into Shanghai.
