Respuesta :
The correct answer is B. After the Chinese Civil War, the island of Taiwan became known as the Republic of China.
The Chinese Civil War ended in 1949 with an unofficial cessation of hostilities between the sides, with the mainland China (including Hainan Island) finally being controlled by the Communists, where the new regime of the People's Republic of China was proclaimed; while the nationalists managed to maintain control over the island territories of Taiwan, Phengu and several coastal islands of Fujian province, territories in which the regime of the Republic of China has been maintained until now.
The Civil War in China led to the defeat of Chiang Kai-Shek, who fled to Taiwan, by the communists under Mao Zedong, who went on to establish the People’s Republic of China in mainland China, in 1949.
Further Explanation:
The Chinese Civil War, which lasted from 1927 till 1949, was fought between the Kuomintang, under Chiang Kai-Shek, the Communist Party of China, with brief interruptions, when Japan invaded China, for the second time, after its first invasion in 1931, in 1937. During the period of Japanese occupation of mainland China, both parties briefly buried their differences in their fight against their common enemy. But after Japan’s eventual defeat and surrender in 1945, civil war resumed between these two major factions of Chinese politics. The civil war eventually ended with the communists’ victory over the Kuomintang, whose leader, Chiang Kai-Shek, fled mainland China for Taiwan. The latter established the Republic of China in Taiwan, while the communists, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, who was also known as Mao Tse-Tung, established a communist nation in the mainland, called the People’s Republic of China, on 1st October 1949.
The Chinese civil war eventually led to a communist revolution and victory in one of the world’s largest and most populous countries. Given that this took place in the initial years of the Cold War, it was a major setback to the western bloc, backed by the United States, while for the communist bloc, backed by the Soviet Union, this was nothing short of a major ideological victory. Mainland China was now officially under communist rule. For Moscow, this meant that the spread and establishment of communist systems in much of Southeast Asia was all but guaranteed.
