In 1949, the Cold War shifted to Asia primarily due to the communist revolution in China, which resulted in the establishment of the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong. This event heightened tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, as China aligned itself with the Soviet bloc, prompting the U.S. to reevaluate its strategies in Asia.
