Answer

In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party, led by Mao Zedong, emerged victorious in the Chinese Civil War, forcing the Nationalist Party, led by Chiang Kai-shek, to retreat to the island of Taiwan. This marked the beginning of the separation between mainland China and Taiwan, a divide that persists to this day.
