Best Answer

In 1940, China was a country ravaged by economic hardship, by the presence of a hostile force (the Japanese) which had taken control of many of its eastern and coastal cities and regions of importance, and by the shaky rule of an austere yet highly disorganized (and corrupt) Nationalist regime. In this period, sub-rulers throughout China sometimes worked at cross-purposes with the Nationalist government, with the Communists in the northern part of China in fact engaged in an ongoing military conflict with it.

1940 was a divisive time in China. The coastal areas and the north had been taken over by Japanese invaders during World War II. The rest of China was deeply divided between Chinese nationalism and rising Communism. In fact, in order to fight Japan the country was in a loose peace from a brutal Civil War that began in 1929 and would last until 1949.
