# Chinese Civil War Begins

> The split between Nationalist and Communist forces initiated a two-decade conflict that would reshape East Asia and culminate in Communist victory.

## Summary

The Chinese Civil War was fought between the Kuomintang-led government of the Republic of China and the forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Armed conflict continued intermittently from 1 August 1927 until Communist victory resulted in their near-complete control over mainland China on 10 December 1949.
