Abstract
The source of conflict within the Guomindang (GMD) in the late 1920s was essentially twofold. One factor was the political struggle for succession among party leaders after the death of Sun Yat-sen; the second factor was ideological differences among competing factions. With the death of Sun in March 1925, Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai, and Wang Jingwei emerged as potential successors owing to their respective power and prestige in the party, and to their long-term association with Sun. A series of coups and counter-coups in the following months reflected the essential pattern of confrontation between Hu's group and the group of Liao and Wang, who, because of their active roles in the First United Front, were viewed as "radicals."
