The Chinese Civil War describes the struggle between Guomindang Nationalists and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for control of China. It ended with the flight of Jiang Jieshi to Taiwan, victory to Mao Zedong and the CCP and the formation of the People’s Republic of China.
The Communists gained the advantage. They convinced many people in rural China to revolt. This helped them push the Nationalists south. The Communist Party set up its own government in 1949.
