The first half of the 20th century was a time of great change in China. After the 1911 Revolution, leaders like Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek tried to modernize the government, education, defense, and more. With the onset of the Second Sino-Japanese War and later occupation of Hong Kong, the focus of both the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party shifted to resistance efforts in order to survive.
