On April 12, 1927, the course of Chinese history was changed forever when General Chiang Kai Shek [sic], leader of the Nationalist army, conclusively split with the Communist Party of China. Marshaling his troops, the Nationalist army carried out a purge of Communist Party members and supporters in the streets of Shanghai.
