The Chinese Civil War (1927–1949) was the armed conflict between the Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for control over the nation of China.[1]

Despite the usage of its name, the Chinese Civil War was only one of many internal conflicts in a wider period of turmoil between military cliques that immediately followed the overthrow of the Qing, China's last imperial dynasty, in 1912. In this light, it was the final phase in the violent competition spanning the first half of the 20th century for status as the sole, legitimate government of China.[2] In traditional historiography,[3] the start of the Chinese Civil War is dated to 1927 when the KMT under orders from Chiang Kai-shek suddenly turned on their communist allies in Shanghai and massacred them on the streets.[4] Chiang had hoped that the preemptive strike would eliminate the communists as obstacles in his rule of China and had only stayed his hand at doing the same to the Templars because of their aid in his Northern Expedition.[5] Instead, his purge signified the definitive split between the two parties and ignited the mortal rivalry that would ultimately topple them from power.[4]

The Chinese Civil War was interrupted by the Japanese invasion in 1937 that became a major theatre of the Second World War and resumed in 1945 with that war's end. Finally, it culminated in the total expulsion of the KMT from China to Taiwan, where they continued the Republic of China, and the establishment of the People's Republic of China as the new regime in China proper.[1]
