The Chinese Civil War (1945-1949) was a military conflict between the Chinese Nationalists (Kuomintang) and the Chinese Communists. Although the Nationalists had the numbers advantage and the resource advantage, the communists were able to defeat them due to the widespread corruption of the Nationalists. Military funds and equipment were inadequately used and the people mistrusted them. Mao Zedong and the communist faction were able to defat the Nationalists resulting in them fleeing to Taiwan.
