This seems more 1930s; the battleship Augusta depicted here visited Shanghai in 1933

Warlords were guardian of regional liberties. They were way more lenient and liberal than Kuomintang and Chinese Communists.

@@shaolin89 >"Life in China was better before communism." Yea definitely for americans or british but not for chinese people. Shanghai was basically hell on earth for vast majority of chinese people. The nationalist government couldn't get their shit together. They are incompetent to rule the nation. Inflation skyrocketed after the second world war. Do you have any idea why the nationalists lost the war cuz PEOPLE WERE NOT ON THEIR SIDE!! Even the american government didnt want to get involved in the messy situation.

then the beasts are win the China after all, end of story
