During World War II, which country ceased its civil war to fight the axis powers with both sides receiving aid from the United States and resumed its civil war after the war ended?

Chinese Civil War

The long Chinese Civil War began in April of 1927 and was a conflict in China between the Chinese Communists and Chinese Nationalists. The force that was loyal to the Chinese government was called the Kuomintang (KMT), and they fought with the Communist Party of China (CPC). The war ended in 1950 and resulted in the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in mainland China and the Republic of China in Taiwan. At that time, both sides claimed to be China’s legitimate governing power.

This war was an ideological separation between the KMT and CPC. The Chinese Civil War carried on sporadically until the late part of 1937.

Then, these two parties came together to form the Second United Front in order to battle the Japanese invasion. In 1946, the civil war started again just one year after the fighting with Japan had ended. Fighting finally ended four years later when the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was founded to control mainland China. The Republic of China (ROC) ended up controlling Taiwan, Quemoy, Penghu, Matsu, and many other outlying islands.
