Question

Why did the United States send financial aid to Jiang Jieshi at the beginning of the Chinese civil war but later refuse his request for military aid?

Answer 1

The United States decided to send financial aid to Jiang Jieshi at the beginning of the Chinese civil war because the U.S. government considered that the defeat of the Nationalist in China would increase Communism influence.

Later, the U.S. government did not accept the request for military aid because they considered Jiang Jieshi and the Nationalist corrupt people and there was no military intervention.

The Nationalist did not want to fight and the victory was for the Communist.

Answer 2

• Jiang Jieshi was corrupt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jiang Jieshi was the leader of the Nationalist party in China, he fought to prevent China from becoming a communist nation with financial aid from the United States.

President Truman established that he would send military and financial aid to all democratic nations to control the spread of communism. But since Jiang Jieshi was corrupt, and the United States would not support a corrupted regime, President Truman refused to send military aid.
