furher reading
The Nationalist Chinese led by [[Chiang Kai-shek]] received aid from the United States to fight against the Japanese, but in reality they needed that money to prepare for civil war against the communists led by [[Mao Zedong]] (also known as “Mao-Tse-tung”). After the war, the communists (from the northwest) attempted to conquer the Nationalists (from the southwest). Civil war raged from 1946 to 1949. Due to many desertions by soldiers from the Nationalist army to the communists, Mao prevailed by October 1949. Mao had promised land for the peasants and renamed the country the People’s Republic of China. Jiang fled with Nationalists to the island of Taiwan, and continued to claim sovereignty over all of China, a stance which the United States supported until [[Richard Nixon]] reversed course in 1971.
