美国家庭百科全书描述蒋介石的抗日

War with Japan

Though the Japanese seized Manchuria in 1931, Chiang devoted more time to

fighting Communists than to resisting the invasion. In 1935 he was kidnaped

by Chang Hseuh-liang, a warlord called the "Young Marshal" and persuaded to

form an alliance with the Communists to fight the Japanese. A “National

Salvation" front was operating when Japanese launched a full-scale invasion

in 1937.

As generalissimo ( commander-in-chief ) of the Chinese forces, Chiang

received United States assistance after Japanse attack on Pearl Harbor.

General Joseph W. Stilwell, commander of United States forces in the

China-Burma-India theater,was made his chief of staff. Chiang and Stilwell

differed on policy, Stilwell advocating more Communist participation in

the war and in the government. Chiang caused Stilwell's removal.
