Who founded Whampoa Military Academy?
The Whampoa Military Academy is the abbreviation of the "Chinese Kuomintang Army Military Academy", which is called the Whampoa Military Academy because it is located on the Huangpu Island of the Pearl River in Guangzhou.
Please note that the name of the school, as already indicated, was founded by the Chinese Nationalist Party.
He said that the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Guangzhou from June 12 to 20, 1923. The congress correctly estimated Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary stance and the possibility of a reorganization of the Kuomintang, and decided that Communists should join the Kuomintang in their personal capacity in order to achieve KMT-CCP cooperation.
It is clearly stipulated that when a Communist Party member joins the Kuomintang, the Party must maintain its independence politically, ideologically, and organizationally.
Subsequently, from January 20 to 30, 1924, the First National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang was held in Guangdong. The congress adopted a new party constitution, reorganized the Kuomintang organization, confirmed the principle of Communist Party members joining the Kuomintang in their individual capacity, elected a new Chinese national leading body with the participation of Communist Party members, reinterpreted the Three People's Principles, formed major policies such as "uniting Russia, uniting the Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers", realized the first KMT-CPC cooperation, and marked the formal formation of the first KMT-CPC cooperation.
At that time, whether it was the Communist Party of China or the Chinese Kuomintang, they were both ambitious and wanted to do things.
What's the big deal? Northern expedition. Why the Northern Expedition? Because at that time, China was Beiyang** was legitimate**, but Beiyang** was supported by imperialism**, and the whole country, which seemed to be a country, was actually ruled by warlords.
Relying on warlords to fight warlords is basically conspiring with the tiger, so there is an urgent need to build a reliable revolutionary armed force.
Whampoa Military Academy. 
Therefore, after the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, that is, in January 1924, the First National Congress of the Kuomintang officially decided to establish the Army Military Academy. In May, the Whampoa Military Academy opened, and Sun Yat-sen personally served as the premier of the military academy, appointing Chiang Kai-shek as the principal and Liao Zhongkai as the party representative.
The prime minister here is actually the role of the leader, who has to coordinate various resources, and the principal is at ease to prepare for the school, enrollment, courseware, instructors, etc., while the party representative is similar to the political and educational office.
Therefore, to be precise, the Whampoa Military Academy was founded by the Chinese Kuomintang, and it is also a military school that cooperates with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
However, someone had to implement, promote, and implement, so Chiang Kai-shek was appointed as the principal.
