The option that most directly helps explain the outbreak of the Chinese Civil War is **Chiang Kai-shek’s purge of Communists in 1927**. This event marked a significant escalation in hostilities between the Nationalist government (Kuomintang) led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Communist Party, leading to a protracted conflict that became the civil war. The other options either pertain to events that occurred later or are more related to cultural factors rather than the immediate political tensions that sparked the civil war.
