The Chinese Civil War was a conflict in China between the Kuomintang (The Nationalist Party; The Nationalists; KMT) and the Communist Party of China (CPC). It began in 1926 when the KMT, led by newly-appointed Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek put a stop to leftist and Communist party-infiltration by purging these members from Nationalist membership. It ended in 1949 with an unofficial cessation of major hostilities, with the Communists controlling mainland China and the Nationalists controlling Taiwan Island, Penghu, and several outlying Fujianese islands.
