Shanghai massacre (1927)
On the Chinese Revolution map as “The Shanghai purge”
12 Apr 1927 — Chiang turns against his communist allies. In one morning, Green Gang enforcers and soldiers kill hundreds of unionists and militants; thousands more are killed here and across the south in the following weeks. The First United Front breaks apart at the moment of its victory, setting the course of events after 1927.
