Huh? In 1925, the Weimar Republic was nearly on the ropes, with hyperinflation, and fighting in the streets between the Communists and the early NAZI party. There was a palpable sense of pending disintegration. Then, enter the one two punch of Bruning and Hitler. What makes you think that if, indeed, chaos took hold in the PRC, something similar would not happen? Where is your historicaly basis and logic man!

Which most observers assumed would sort itself out in short order--and it did.

There was a palpable sense of pending disintegration. Then, enter the one two punch of Bruning and Hitler. What makes you think that if, indeed, chaos took hold in the PRC, something similar would not happen?

Simple: Germany was pretty much one nation.

Modern China, like ancient Gaul, is divided into three parts--much as the US in 1860 was in two very distinct parts.

Where is your historicaly basis and logic man!

Where's yours?

Nobody seriously anticipated that disunion and large-scale war would follow the US elections of 1860. But they did.
