Other Leaders of WWII
Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle: 22 November 1890 – 9
November 1970) was a French general and statesman who led the Free French Forces
during World War II. He later founded the French Fifth Republic in 1958 and
served as its first president from 1959 to 1969.
De Gaulle came to the fore in the interwar army as a proponent
of mobile armored divisions. During World War II, he attained the rank of
brigadier general (retained throughout his life). De Gaulle led the Free French
Forces (composed of French soldiers in Britain) and a government in exile
against France's pro-German Vichy government while he was in London and Africa,
gained control of most French colonies, and participated in the liberation of
Paris. Despite France's initial defeat, de Gaulle insisted that it be treated as
a great power by the other Allies. His promotion of French national interests
led to confrontations with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, due to
their initial unwillingness to inform him of the D-Day landings in June 1944.

Chiang Kai-Shek (October 31, 1887 – April 5, 1975) was a Chinese
political and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China
between 1928 and 1975. He is known as Jiang Jieshi. Chiang was an influential
member of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party, and was a close
ally of Sun Yat-sen.
He became the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academy and
took Sun's place as leader of the KMT when Sun died in 1925. In 1926, Chiang led
the Northern Expedition to unify the country, becoming China's nominal leader.
He served as Chairman of the National Military Council of the Nationalist
government of the Republic of China (ROC) from 1928 to 1948. Chiang led China in
the Second Sino-Japanese War (the Chinese theater of World War II),
consolidating power from the party's former regional warlords. Unlike Sun
Yat-Sen, Chiang Kai-Shek was socially conservative, promoting traditional
Chinese culture in the New Life Movement and rejecting western democracy and the
nationalist democratic socialism that Sun embraced in favors of an authoritarian
government.
