Nanjing Decade (1927-1937)
The period of Guomindang rule from the establishment of the Nanjing government in 1927 to the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. It was the only period of relative peace and stability under GMD rule. The decade saw limited modernisation, including railway construction, banking reform, and legal codification, but was undermined by corruption, reliance on regional warlords, failure to carry out land reform, and the continuing threat from both the CCP and Japan.
