Divergent opinions and two powerful individuals who were intent on getting their own way, inevitably left China in a delicate position where control could go either of two ways—but whichever of the two contenders for Sun Yat-sen’s throne emerged victorious, one thing was certain: pain and suffering would undoubtedly be the lot of the ordinary people.

The Northern Expedition which Sun Yat-sen had been talking about and planning for some time would provide both would-be leaders with the opportunity to press their claims for control of the KMT and, as a natural consequence, of the country. Whoever was victorious the lucky general would not only gather kudos for himself, he would also establish a power base that would be unlikely to be beaten down. Everything, it seemed, depended on the long-delayed Northern Expedition.
