ESSAY:

Discuss the outcome of the Chinese civil war, including the roles of Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States in your explanation. Include events before, during, and immediately after WWII.

Back 51

Under the leadership of Mao Tse-tung the Communist forcesfought against Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government several years before China got invaded by Japan. When Japan invaded China the Nationalists and the Communists formed an alliance against them, but the Nationalists fought the most. The civil war resumed after WWII. The Soviet Union provided weapons and Manchuria to Mao's troops that prepared them for the fight. The United States aided the Nationalists before and during WWII, but after WWII American journalists began to support Mao and the United States attempted to negotiate peace with both of them. Chiang Kai-shek refused to form a coalition government, so the US stopped aiding the Nationalist forces making them unable to withstand the Communists.This forced them to retreat to Taiwan and the mainland China became a Communist nation.
