Retreat of the Government of the Republic of China to Taiwan (1949.12.7)

Following their defeat in the Chinese Civil War, on December 7, 1949, the remnanfots of the Nationalist government of the Republic of China (ROC), alongside many refugees, retreated to the island of Taiwan. The exodus is sometimes called the Great Retreat in Taiwan. The Nationalist Kuomintang party (KMT), its officers, and approximately 2 million ROC troops took part in the retreat, in addition to many civilians and refugees, fleeing the advance of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP, who now effectively controlled most of mainland China, spent the subsequent years purging any remnant Nationalist agents in western and southern China, solidifying the rule of the newly established People's Republic of China (PRC).
