The '''Chinese Soviet Republic''' ('''CSR'''), also known as the '''Soviet Republic of China''' or the '''China Soviet Republic''', is often referred to in historical sources as the '''Jiangxi Soviet''' (after its largest component territory, the [[Jiangxi-Fujian Soviet]]). It was established in November 1931 by future [[Communist Party of China]] leader [[Mao Zedong]], General [[Zhu De]] and others, and it lasted until 1937.
[[wikt:discontiguous|Discontiguous]] territories included the [[Northeastern Jiangxi Soviet|Northeastern Jiangxi]], [[Hunan-Jiangxi Soviet|Hunan-Jiangxi]], [[Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Soviet|Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi]], [[Honghu Soviet|Hunan-Western Hubei]], [[Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Soviet|Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou]], Shaanxi-Gansu, Szechuan-Shensi, Hubei-Henan-Anhui and [[Hailufeng Soviet|Haifeng-Lufeng]] Soviets. Mao Zedong was both CSR state chairman and [[prime minister]]; he led the state and its government. Mao's tenure as head of a "small state within a state" gave him experience in [[Mobile Warfare|mobile warfare]] and [[peasant]] organization; this experience helped him accomplish the [[Communism|Communist]] reunification of China during the late 1940s.<ref name="Cultural" /> The CSR was eventually destroyed by the [[Kuomintang]] (KMT)'s [[National Revolutionary Army]] in a series of 1934 [[Encirclement Campaigns|encirclement campaigns]].<ref name="Cultural">{{cite web |title = Chinese Soviet Republic |url = http://history.cultural-china.com/en/34History7366.html |work = Cultural China |publisher = cultural-china.com |accessdate = 21 September 2012 |year = 2007–2010 |url-status = dead |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20121025134115/http://history.cultural-china.com/en/34History7366.html |archivedate = 25 October 2012 }}</ref> Following the [[Xi'an Incident]] of December 1936, the Communists and Kuomintang formed an uneasy [[Second United Front|"United Front"]] to resist Japanese pressure, which led to the Communists recognizing at least for the moment Chiang Kai-shek as China's leader and the official dissolution of the Soviet Republic on 22 September 1937.
