: Chiang Kai-shek (October 31, 1887 – April 5, 1975), a political and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975. Chiang, a social conservative, was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT – a Chinese Nationalist Party) and was a close ally of Sun Yat-sen. He became the Commandant of the Kuomintang’s Whampoa Military Academy and took Sun’s place as leader of the KMT when Sun died in 1925. He served as Chairman of the National Military Council of the Nationalist government of the Republic of China (ROC) from 1928 to 1948. Chiang led China in the Second Sino-Japanese War, consolidating power from the party’s former regional warlords. After Japan invaded China in 1937, Chiang agreed to a temporary truce with the CCP. However, by the time the Japanese surrendered in 1945 neither the CCP nor the KMT trusted each other nor were actively cooperating. Chiang’s government and army retreated to Taiwan. He subsequently ruled the island securely as President of the Republic of China and General of the Kuomintang until his death in 1975. He ruled mainland China for 22 years, and Taiwan for 30 years.
