generalissimo chiang kai-shek, leader of chinese nationalist kuomintang


as agreed @ yalta conference, soviet union went war against japan 3 months after defeat of germany. soviet forces invaded manchuria. end of manchukuo puppet state , japanese settlers forced leave china. soviet union dismantled industrial base in manchuria built japanese in preceding years. manchuria became base communist chinese forces because of soviet presence.


after war, kuomintang (kmt) party (led generalissimo chiang kai-shek) , communist chinese forces resumed civil war, had been temporarily suspended when fought against japan. fight against japanese occupiers had strengthened popular support among chinese communist guerrilla forces while weakened kmt, depleted strength fighting conventional war. full-scale war between opposing forces broke out in june 1946. despite u.s. support kuomintang, communist forces victorious , established people s republic of china (prc) on mainland. kmt forces retreated island of taiwan in 1949. hostilities had largely ceased in 1950.


with communist victory in civil war, soviet union gave claim military bases in china had been promised western allies during world war ii. defeat of us-backed kmt led debate in united states in government responsible this, debate commonly labeled lost china?


the outbreak of korean war diverted attention of prc @ same time bolstered support chiang kai-shek, 2 main factors prevented prc invading taiwan. intermittent military clashes occurred between prc , taiwan 1950-1979. taiwan unilaterally declared civil war on in 1991, no formal peace treaty or truce exists , prc officially sees taiwan breakaway province rightfully belongs , has expressed opposition taiwanese independence. so, tensions between 2 states has decreased on time example chen-chiang summits (2008-2011).


sino-american relations (between prc , us) continued hostile until president nixon visited china in 1972. point relations between them have improved on time although tension , rivalry remain end of cold war , prc s distancing communist ideology.
