Stalin's “three-stage theory” was an important theory used by the Communist International to guide the Chinese revolution during the Agrarian Revolutionary War. According to the “three-stage theory”, after Chiang Kai-shek's rebellious revolution, the Chinese revolution was in the second stage of its development. This judgment ideologically promoted the outbreak of Nanchang Uprising, it also affected the use of the Kuomintang and the National Revolutionary banner in the Nanchang Uprising, and therefore formulated a strategy for the uprising troops to Guangdong.
