Nanchang Uprising (1927)

On the Chinese Revolution map as “The Nanchang rising”

1 Aug 1927 — Communist-led regiments seize Nanchang and hold it for three days, giving the party its first army of its own. The force is driven out and broken; survivors under Zhu De make their way to the hills. The People’s Liberation Army still dates its founding to this morning.
