one more reason why PG needs to go to China.. .

A GREAT topic for a PG in China design...Xinjian Wars, 1934 through 1947. If you want to know where Stalin got the idea to attack eastern Poland while the Poles were fighting off the German army, check out the 1934-5 campaign. Stalin invades China and sets up a puppet state on the one hand, while arming the nationalists in their war against the Japanese with the other. Great cast of characters. Nationalists, Communists, Uigar separatists, Red Russians, White Russians. Multiple incidents and leaders. Stalin ended up giving back Xinjian, otherwise called East Turkestan, in 1947.
