Features: The study of the military history of the Republic of China (1912-1949) is an important part of Republican history research. If the military history of the Republic of China is not well understood, it will significantly impact the research on its political institutional history, social history, and other specialized topics. A Comprehensive Record of the Development of the National Revolutionary Army is a book that chronicles the emergence, growth, and decline of the National Revolutionary Army. From it, one can see that the privatization of the military was a primary cause of factionalism and conflict. This book not only provides detailed historical materials for scholars and educators engaged in the study of modern Chinese history, Republican history, military history, and revolutionary history, both domestically and internationally, but also serves as a reliable basis for local historical compilation, as well as for the descendants of former members of the Nationalist Party's military forces to trace their roots. Based on thorough historical research, the compilers provide a relatively comprehensive and objective introduction to the development of the National Revolutionary Army, the Central Army, as well as their naval and air forces, and the military forces of local warlords.
