Best Answer

In 1949 the nationalists under chiang Kai-shek arrived in Taiwan from the Chinese mainland. Along with them came more than 1.5 million refugees fleeing communist rule. Fearing a communist invasion, the nationalists kept a large army in the hope of someday retaking the mainland. They also blocked other political groups from sharing in the government.
