    Although US intervention contributed greatly to China’s eventual victory in the Sino-Japanese war, the situation in China and the nature of the conflict was not massively affected by the contribution, and in reality the intervention had little impact on the internal affairs and overall success of the second United Front. Both before and after US involvement tensions were never relieved between the CCP and the GMD and so Japan remained a superior fighting force. Peace between the CCP and the GMD was regularly encouraged by foreign powers and in China in order to fight the Japanese, but if events such as the Xian Incident had not happened, or foreign powers had backed one party to take control. The country may have been much more united and in a greater position to fight the Japanese, but as it stands China’s contribution was not significant enough to account for Japan’s defeat, the conflicts nature did not change, and without the forced surrender of Japan China was on the way to losing the war.…

They favored the peasants, merchants and artisans because they produced the things they needed.

    At the time 1000-1400, Europe was under a feudalist system and had no centralized government. Lords were fighting other lords to gain wealth and power. Government was largely influenced by Christianity and non-Christians were being persecuted throughout Europe, which led to a decline in manpower and unity. On the other hand, China centralized government, its prospering trades, and the empire's wealth strengthened the political stability of the empire. The vast empire had one leader, there were little internal conflicts, and the empire had a strong enough defense to defend themselves from invaders.
