The primary cause of the Chinese Civil War that began in 1927 was A) power struggle between the Nationalist Party and the Communist Party of China. The conflict arose from ideological disagreements, differing visions for China's future, and competition for political control, particularly following the Northern Expedition, where both parties initially worked together against warlords, but ultimately split due to their opposing goals.
