Chinese Civil War (Napoleon's World)

The Chinese Civil War was a conflict waged between 1946 and 1950 between supporters of the Imperial Constitution and the Absolute Monarchists, begun by the attempted Tiananmen Coup. There was also a notable and strong communist third party that was defeated soundly at Guangzhou in 1949. As many as 50 million people are estimated to have died in this period, mostly civilians dying of starvation or disease. The war resulted in a victory by the Imperial Constitutionalists, led by the Emperor Puyi and his top commander, Chiang Kai-Shek, over the Absolute Monarchists and the bulk of the Chinese Imperial Army. The victory resulted in the signing of the 1950 Constitution of China, which established the Imperial Constitution that China works under today.
