civil war

The civil war in China was another spark that led to the blow up of the cold war. China was separated into two parts. One half was nationalism which was led by Chiang and the other was communism led by Mao Zedong. America has already been its share of war because we where trying to contain communism and this was no different. American gave economic support to Ciang because he was on the side against the communist but didn't always do right with the money. Chiang was accused of being corrupt and not doing what is best for its county which led to America losing control over china and letting it fall to communism. This was a huge set back for America because we believe that if one nation falls to communism soon nations around will do the same." Domino Theory"
