question 30

Essay

Explain the United States' tremendous success story in postwar Japan versus its failure in China. Who was responsible for the fall of China to the communists? Did American postwar foreign policy toward Nationalist China and its leader Jiang Jieshi play a crucial role in the fall of China? Alternatively, were the keys to the "loss of China" to be found in the shortcomings of the Nationalist government and the political and military strength of Mao Zedong and his communist armies?
