At 3:30 AM on 11 December 1927, communist militia and worker red guards launched an uprising in Guangzhou (then known as Canton in English). Utilising the element of surprise, the uprising took over most of the city by 6:00 AM, and the Communist leadership announced the formation of a Guangzhou Soviet. On the next day the Soviet became "official" when it was ratified at a mass meeting the following day. However, by then the uprising was already being driven back by warlord forces. Zhang Tailei, the organiser behind the uprising, was assassinated as he returned from a meeting. By 4:00 AM on 13 December, Guangzhou was recaptured by warlord armies and their allies. In the following purges many young communists lost their lives, and the Guangzhou Soviet became known as the "Guangzhou Commune" or "Paris Commune of the East". Despite being the third failed uprising in 1927 it encouraged further uprisings across China. china-hist-stub Category:Chinese rebellions Category:Guangzhou category:History of the Republic of China category:Communist Party of China This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
