The Chinese Civil War (Traditional Chinese: 國共内戰; Simplified Chinese: 国共内战; Pinyin: guógòng neìzhàn; literally "Nationalist-Communist Civil War"), which lasted from April 1927 to May 1950, was a civil war in China between the Kuomintang (KMT or Nationalist Party) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The war began in 1927, after the Northern Expedition, when the right-wing faction of the KMT, led by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, purged the Communists and KMT leftists from a KMT-CCP alliance. The war represented an ideological between the Western-supported nationalist KMT, and the Soviet-Communist supported CCP.

The civil war carried on intermittently until the looming Second Sino-Japanese War interrupted it, resulting an organized and temporary Chinese resistance to the Japanese invasion. The Japanese assault and occupation was an opportunistic attack made possible by China's own state of internal turmoil. Japan's campaign was defeated in August, 1945 by the United States, marking the end of WWII, and China's full-scale civil war resumed in 1946. Hostilities ended after 23 years in 1950, with an unofficial cessation of major hostilities, with the Communists controlling mainland China (including Hainan Island) and the Nationalists restricted to their remaining territories of Taiwan, Pescadores, and the several outlying Fujianese islands. To this day, no official armistice has ever been signed, although the two sides have close economic ties.

  • My grandfather fought for the KMT and he said that Mao and his communist army is shit. He said that Mao is just a big fat liar. I only support the KMT china and I will never support communism. Any party can rule China, but not the communists. Long live the Republic of China and KMT and Chiang Kai SHek!

  • @KMTchina saying shit like this only make you look like an idiot who wants to tear your country apart.

  • @KMTchina

    a big fat liar that got people from the kmt turn to mao's side.

  • The CCP is doing a great job dudes. Compare China and America today for one.

    Fuck those who say the CCP crushes all political opposition. THERE's NO need for multiple parties if a single one can do a FANTASTIC job. Stop sticking your long hypocritical noses and liberal ideas into our issues. The CCP is legit, the people support it and that's final. I'd rather have a strong single party than multiple parties arguing in the Senate and ending up doing nothing!

  • opinion and they can believe whatever they wish. But it is the people of China that decide the legitimacy of the goverment, and without the PEOPLE, the current goverment of China would not exist. The western media needs to stop cherry picking "news" from China that they find suitable to create an illusion of a failing state

  • I did not like mao, at all, but all in all, China has been doing some great things in the past twenty years, and it has shown that rapid development is possible for nations that suffer economic turmoil. Even though the goverment are hardliners and many of things they do are questionable, they have proved that they have created a successful China that is fast becoming a World leader in todays politics. For all the people that argue about the legitimacy of Chinas goverment that is there own

  • China and ROC have to result thier differences and get along, Then we can unite together as one. CHANGE THE ANTHEM, NATIONAL EMBLEM, Constiution, FLAG. Hows that going to go

  • ROC belong in the sea!!

  • China belongs to ROC!!
