    The Civil War between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Kuomintang (KMT) broke out in China from 1946 to 1949. After gaining support from Chinese peasants during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the CPC led by Mao Zedong grew in strength. Meanwhile, the KMT government led by Chiang Kai-shek maintained support from the United States due to the emerging Cold War. Attempts by the US to mediate between the two sides through General George Marshall in December 1945 failed, leading to an all-out civil war between the CPC and KMT.

    The Civil War between CPC & KMT in China (1946-49)

    After the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45), under the leadership of Mao
    Zedong, the CPC (Communist Party of China) had gained much support from the Chinese
    people (especially the peasants) during the 2nd Sino-Japanese War. After the end of this war,
    the Nationalist (Kuo Min Tang) Government of Chiang Kai-shek was still supported by the
    USA because of the complicated situation in Asia under the shadow of the Cold War. The
    USA had tried to mediate the 2 sides under General George C. Marshall in Dec 1945 but he
    was unsuccessful. Civil war finally broke out between the 2 sides.
