a) Taiwan
b) Mongolia
c) North Korea
d) Vietnam

Answer 1

The Nationalists retreated to Taiwan after being defeated in the Chinese civil war in 1949, where they established a government-in-exile.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the Chinese civil war came to an end in 1949, the Nationalists, led by Chiang Kai-shek, were defeated by Mao Zedong's Communist forces. Chiang Kai-shek and the remnants of his government fled to Taiwan, an island 160 kilometers off the southeastern coast of mainland China. Similar to the situation in mainland China before 1949, the Nationalists established the Republic of China's government-in-exile in Taiwan and held onto this territory as their stronghold. The United States and many other nations continued to recognize the Nationalist government in Taiwan as the legitimate government of all China until the 1970s, despite the establishment of the People's Republic of China by the Communists on the mainland.
