The Chinese Civil War had several significant effects on China and its political landscape. Here are key effects related to the options you've mentioned:

  1. Expulsion of Communists from the Chinese Government in 1927: This event marked the beginning of a significant rift between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). After initially collaborating to unify China against warlords, the KMT, under Chiang Kai-shek, turned against the CCP, leading to the expulsion of communists from positions of power and the start of armed conflict between the two parties.

  2. Japan's Invasion of China in 1937: The ongoing conflict between the KMT and CCP was temporarily overshadowed by Japan's invasion of China in 1937. Both the KMT and CCP put aside their differences to fight against the common enemy, albeit with differing strategies and levels of cooperation. The invasion also weakened the KMT, both militarily and in terms of public support, while the CCP gained popularity by engaging in guerrilla warfare against Japanese forces.

  3. Conflict between the KMT and CCP: The Chinese Civil War (1927-1949) was fundamentally characterized by the intense conflict between the KMT and CCP. This rivalry shaped much of China's political landscape during the first half of the 20th century, with alternating periods of warfare and uneasy truces. Ultimately, the civil war concluded with the CCP's victory in 1949, leading to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China and the retreat of the KMT to Taiwan.

  4. Tensions between China and the U.S.: The Chinese Civil War and the subsequent victory of the CCP led to a shift in China's foreign relations, particularly with the United States. The U.S. had initially supported the KMT, and the establishment of a communist regime in China created significant ideological tensions during the Cold War, leading to a complicated and adversarial relationship that lasted for decades.

In summary, the Chinese Civil War had profound effects on China's internal dynamics, foreign relations, and the eventual establishment of the communist state under the CCP.
