As the gateway to central China, Jiangsu became the main scene of European commercial activity after the Treaty of Nanjing (1842). It was an important base for China’s Nationalist Party, which made Nanjing the nation’s capital from 1928 to 1937 and again from 1946 to 1949. The province was occupied by Japan during the Sino-Japanese War (1937 – 45) .After the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, the province has been in control by the central government.
