The Anti-Japanese War
In the 1930s, when a clash occurred between Chinese and Japanese troops outside Beijing near Marco Polo Bridge, this skirmish not only marked the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War but also hastened the formal announcement of the second KMT-CCP united front against Japan. However, the distrust between the two parties lend to the uneasy alliance began to break down after 1938. Then Mao was able to adapt Marxism-Leninism to Chinese conditions. He taught party cadres to lead the masses by living and working with them, eating their food and thinking their thoughts. Finally, Because of this ideology with all of the Red Army, China defeated the Japan and won the Anti-Japanese War in the 1945.
The Chinese Civil War
The Chinese Civil War (literally "Nationalist-Communist Civil War") was fought between the Kuomintang (KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party) and the Communist Party of China (CPC). The war began in April 1927, amidst the Northern Expedition. The war represented an ideological split between the Western-supported Nationalist KMT and the Soviet-supported Communist CPC. In mainland China the war is more commonly known as the "War of Liberation".
After the Chinese Civil War
After a further four years, 1950 saw a cessation of major hostilities—with the newly founded People\'s Republic of China controlling mainland China (including Hainan Island), and the Republic China’s jurisdiction being restricted to Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu and several outlying Fujianese islands. To this day, since no armistice or peace treaty has ever been signed, there is controversy as to whether the Civil War has legally ended. Today, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have close economic ties. We strongly believe from historical records that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory.
