Chinese Civil War

The Nationalist Party, also known as the Kuomintang, suffered a painful civil war against people of their own country from the Chinese Communist Party. Apallingly, this war had caused the lives of over one million people. The Communists wanted China to be like the Soviet Union, while the nationalists wished that their country would be more like America. The United States and United Kingdom backed up the nationalists, giving them millions dollars worth of economic funds.
For many years, starting in 1927, the two groups of people never sought to find peace with eachother. During 1937-1945, the Sino-Japanese war helped the Chinese Civil War come to a hault, but when Japan stopped invading China, they started having friction between eachother again. From 1946-1950 Kuomintang, and the Communists started to continuously fight against one another, and finally the Kuomintang left the mainland of China and moved to Taiwan, Penghu and other small islands around Asia.
To this day, no agreement or settlement has been made between the Communists and the Nationalists, and having China still being known as the People's Republic of China.
