 | | The Whampoa Military Academy or Huangpu Military Academy (40643;埔軍校, Pinyin huang2 pu3 jun1 xiao4) was a military academy in China founded on June 16, 1924 to train military commanders for the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) of the Kuomintang (KMT) in preparation of the Northern Expedition. |
 | | Whampoa Academy initially had many instructors from the Soviet Union; those instructors left, however, after Chiang Kai-shek's break with the Communist Party of China (CCP) in the late 1920s. |
 | | In 1950, after the Communist victory on mainland China and the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the academy was relocated to Fengshan, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan, where it remains today. |
