The island nationalist forces retreated to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War, which concluded in 1949. The Kuomintang (KMT), led by Chiang Kai-shek, established a government there following their defeat by the Communist forces led by Mao Zedong on the mainland. Taiwan has since remained a separate political entity, with ongoing tensions between the two sides.
The island of Formosa, or Taiwan.
Jiang Jieshi has another name known as Chiang Kai-shek. Jiang Jieshi was in control of the Nationalist forces in China during and after World War II. He had a civil war with Mao Zedong, who controlled the communist "Red Army" (Peoples Army). Once they both protected whatever they controlled against the Japanese forces. In 1946, once their battle was over with the Japanese, they resumed their CIVIL WAR with each other. The Nationalists lost and retreated to the island of Formosa (Taiwan). Mao and his forces then controlled all of mainland China.
Taiwan, though it's quite debatable as to whether you could really call it Nationalist China in reality, though they still use the name.
The other name for the Kuomintang is the Chinese Nationalist Party.
It was defeated at the Battle of the Monongahela on July 9, and the survivors retreated. The expedition takes its name from General Edward Braddock, who led the British forces and died in the effort.
The Axis powers, who were aligned with Franco's Nationalist forces, provided military support in the form of weapons and supplies. Nazi Germany also provided air support, partially to test out new technology they would use in the looming WWII. One example of this was the barbaric bombing of the small city of Guernica, made famous by Picasso's painting of the same name. In the end, the Nationalist forces were much better equipped and more numerous than the Republican forces, and by 1939 the Second Republic fell and was replaced with Franco's regime.
Taiwan before 1945 was referred to as Formosa which is Portuguese for "beautiful island". After World War 2, China became embroiled in a civil war between Nationalist forces and Communist forces. In the end, the Communist forces under Mao Zedong were victorious and so the Nationalists were forced to leave mainland China and instead moved to Formosa which they referred to as "The Republic of China" as opposed to mainland China which is the "Peoples' Republic of China".

Japan ruled the island of Formosa as part of their territory from about 1895 until the end of WW2. Part of the treaty ending the war was return of the island to China. The name then reverted to the Chinese and Taiwanese name 'Taiwan' meaning 'Big Island'. Most Americans today don't realize that Taiwan had its own culture and language before the Japanese occupation and before the mainland Chinese retreated to the island in 1949.
