Question

Brainliest answer available.
Which best expresses the conflicting political relationship between China’s Nationalists and Communists?

1.) The two opposing factions had been engaged in warfare for so long that their constant battling achieved the status of a political tradition, one that had become part of their culture.
2.) The enemies began as allies with the shared goal of uniting most of mainland China, but the Communists split off when the Nationalists planned a constitutional democracy.
3.) They fought each other over philosophical differences but also teamed up to fight outside invaders, after which their differences caused friction that pushed them apart once again.
4.) The two groups had coexisted peacefully until the 1960s when the Soviets began trying to affect the course of Chinese politics by positioning its factions against one another.

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer would be 3.) They fought each other over philosophical differences but also teamed up to fight outside invaders, after which their differences caused friction that pushed them apart once again.

While 2 would make sense because of the origins of the Communist party within the Nationalist party, but they never began as allies. 1 would be false because the Communist party formally began around 1929. 4 would be false because they did not coexist peacefully prior to 1960. 

Hope I could help!

Answer 2

I think the correct answer would be 3?

They fought each other over philosophical differences but also teamed up to fight outside invaders, after which their differences caused friction that pushed them apart once again.

I just took the test with the same question so I'm pretty sure it's correct.
