Final answer:

After the Chinese Civil War, the Nationalists fled to Taiwan and continued to govern as the Republic of China.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chinese Civil War (1927–1950) was marked by conflict between the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) and the Communist Party of China. Features included power struggles, military campaigns, and shifting alliances. The war ended with the Communist victory in the year 1949, leading to the establishment of the People's Republic of China and the Nationalist retreat to Taiwan.

After the Chinese Civil War, the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-Shek were defeated by the Communists led by Mao Zedong. Chiang and the remnants of the Nationalist government fled to the island of Taiwan, where they continued to govern as the Republic of China. The United Nations and the United States recognized the Nationalist government in Taiwan as the legitimate government of China until the 1970s.

On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong proclaimed the People's Republic of China with its capital at Peking, which was renamed Beijing. Chiang Kai-shek and approximately two million Nationalist Chinese retreated from the mainland to the island of Taiwan.
