Question

What happened to the Nationalists after the Civil War in China?

Answer 1

Hint: A nationalist is a person who firmly identifies with their own country and actively defends the interests of their own country, even at the expense of other countries' interests or to the detriment of other countries' interests.

Complete answer:
The Chinese Civil War existed from 1927 to 1951, and it was caused by an ideological divide between the Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The war was a battle for China's legitimacy as a republic. Because of the "Northern Expedition," the war began in April 1927 and lasted until 1950. After World War 1 and World War 2, the Chinese Civil War was the third greatest war in history.

After the Civil War in China, the nationalists escaped to Formosa, which is now Taiwan. They became the Nationalist China, which was recognized by the international community as the official Chinese state at events such as the Olympics and the United Nations until the early 1970s when relations among the United States and China were re-established.

Additional Information: The Chinese civil war was important for the cold war because it saw Communists defeat Chinese Nationalists, and the Communists would later participate in the Korean War to assist their North Korean allies.


Note: Despite the coexistence of the private entrepreneurs and the capitalists with state and communal business, the Communist Party of China establishes a socialist country. China is not a capitalist country because the party keeps influence over the country's direction, retaining the socialist growth path.
