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.

How did China get its name People's Republic of China?
