The Chinese Civil War

During the Cold War, the chinese civil war started. Nationalists against the communists who were being aided by the U.S.S.R and the nationalists were being aided by the U.S.A. The nationalist leader was corrupt, all the money that he got from the U.S.A he kept and did not help at all. The nationalist leader was Chiang Kei Shek. The communist leader was Mao Zedong. The communist beat the nationalists making them flee to Taiwan, an island close to China. The U.S.A could not believe it, China was now communist. The U.S.A was angered because they spent so much money aiding the nationalists and the nationalists had failed.
