C. They worked together to overthrow China's last imperial dynasty.
D. They prevented the Japanese from occupying China.
F. They split China into a northern communist nation and a southern non-communist nation.

The correct answers are B, C, D, F, and G.

B. Communist and nationalist forces caused political conflict and civil war in China. The Chinese Communist Party, led by Mao Zedong, and the Nationalist Party, led by Chiang Kai-shek, were locked in a power struggle which led to the Chinese Civil War from 1945-1949.

C. The Communist and Nationalist forces worked together to overthrow China's last imperial dynasty, the Qing Dynasty. In 1911, they launched the Xinhai Revolution and established the Republic of China, ending over two thousand years of imperial rule.

D. Both the Communist and Nationalist forces fought against the Japanese invasion during World War II. Although they had conflicts between each other, they put aside their differences temporarily to resist Japanese aggression and prevent Japan from occupying China.

F. After the Chinese Civil War, the communist forces emerged victorious and established the People's Republic of China in 1949. The Nationalist forces retreated to Taiwan and established the Republic of China, which was separate from the communist-led mainland China.

G. The communist forces, led by the Chinese Communist Party, established an authoritarian form of government in mainland China. Under Mao Zedong's leadership, China underwent significant political and social transformations, which included the establishment of a one-party rule and suppression of dissent.

Therefore, the communist and nationalist forces influenced China by causing political conflict and civil war (B), working together to overthrow China's last imperial dynasty (C), preventing the Japanese occupation of China (D), splitting China into a northern communist nation and a southern non-communist nation (F), and giving rise to authoritarian forms of government (G).
