China could have won the Second Sino-Jap without US intervention.

asI'm gonna go into troll mode. Sorry, I've been really, really REALLY BUSY. So now i have barley anytime. Anyways, serious stuff.EuropeYes, stalingrad was after US joined, but US had barley commited much yet. Sure they did send supplies, and these did ultimately help the USSR push all the way into Germany. I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting that they would still have enough momentum, to break the inital attacks, and push back as far as say Kursk.Also, just because there was no Pearl Harbor, doesn't mean the US wouldn't have joined the European Theatre. They had already constructed strong relationships with the UK.Winter offensive and other stuffThe Winter Offensive, was aknowledged as a failure, but through recent research, not as huge as before seen. Sure they did suffer high casulties, but, the important part about this is that it proved China could launch an offensive without US military aid. This was all before the US joined the war. China still had some industries left, as the whole point of defending Shangahi... well part of the reason was to buy time to move these valuable recources. You kinda appeased to my liking for a challenge so I accepted your defenition of intervention without complaint, knowing it would be hard =PfsadfAnd I think you fail to recognize the importance of guerilla warfare. What makes it so advantegeou to the communists to use this kind of warfare?They are not the governmentThey don't neccesarily risk being criticized for losing a major city, or losing a battle. They can stay behind, and plan and attack to their leisure... well more leisure than Chiang could have.Knowledge of SurroundingsOf course they know the surroundings better. But lets once again analyze this on a larger picture. The chinese managed to divert Japanesse attention to the mid-south area of China, rather than the open plains of the north. This makes supply lines much more difficult for the Jappanese to maintain, and much easier for the Chinese to cut. This all revolves around the idea, that when facing an enemy, one must weaken it constantly. Even if it is so slight the enemy can't see it. This eventually builds up.Neccesity of Survival Another thing China had is the neccesity of survival. As prove already, Japan is not interested in accepting any peace aggrements, they are bent on attacking and taking territory. When this happens, and the chinese army finds themselves increasingly entrapped, their will to fight rises, and morale and will are major factors in any battle.More umm... serious stuffJapan repaired all the bridges and dams, that slowed them for quite a while, up to months in fact. The communists could blow up major damns, and bridges, quite a distance away from the front, all the way leading right up to the front. Pince movments, performed by Nationalists and Communists. This would allow them to seize major cities and terriories up to Wuhan. From there, with the able land and materals again. China has the potential to outlast. They simply had mroe potential. Japan will lose if they can't stop China completly, because China would just be able to harrass, push back, build up, and push forward, constantly.TROLL TIME: Chiang Kai Sheks smile is just too godly, automatically burning the japaness armies with his smile alone.
