Explanation:

The Chinese civil war, which lasted from August 1927 until October 1949, was the conflict that took place in China between the Kuomintang (or Chinese Nationalist Party) (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It began in 1927 after the Northern Expedition, when the KMT nationalist faction, led by Chiang Kai-shek, cleansed the communists of the alliance formed between the KMT and the CCP.

The war ended in 1949 with an unofficial cessation of hostilities between the sides, the mainland (including the island of Hainan) being finally controlled by the Communists, where the new regime of the People's Republic of China was proclaimed, while the nationalists they managed to maintain control over the island territories of Taiwan, Fishermen and several coastal islands of Fujian Province, territories in which the regime of the Republic of China has been maintained until today.
