The Battle of the Hundred Regiments: problems of coordination and control during the Sino-Japanese War

Article Abstract:

Reconstruction of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments shows the power of myth and the persistence of inaccuracy. Regional Communist Party leaders and field officers took initiative more often than was usually supposed. The name for this series of engagements is distorted. There was no single battle in one location but a series of engagements spread across considerable territory for over three months, and few of the units were at regimental strength. Errors made by the commander Peng Dehuai, many of which he acknowledged, can be placed in proper historical context.

Testing the self-strengthening: the Chinese army in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895

Article Abstract:

The Chinese lost the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895 due to Japan's greater preparations. The Chinese army was respectably equipped and had reliable commanders, but the troops were relatively undisciplined and the officers ineffective. Chinese forces were also, with few exceptions, massively outnumbered. Japan had been preparing for the war much longer than China and recovered from attack quickly due to the Chinese preference for defensive strategy.

The human rights issue in China, 1929-1931

Article Abstract:

Human rights in China had been an international concern during the first years of the Nationalist rule when an ephemeral Human Rights Group aimed to impress the need to effect constitutional reforms upon the government. Insights into the question of Chinese democracy, in the context of Nationalist rule, will illuminate the reasons why this issue failed to develop into a popular movement during the inter-war years.
