Answer to Question 1

At the end of the 1800s, as the dynastic system weakened, China fell under the control of the United Kingdom. In the early 1900s, control by the UK diminished because of the effects of World Wars One and Two on Europe, including the UK. Eager to push out these outsiders, two separate visions of autonomy and self-determination developed. Communists, led by Mao Tse Tung, battled nationalists who were led by Chiang Kai Shek. This provided an opportunity for Japan to expand into China preceding and during World War Two. At the end of World War Two, the battle for China began again. In the end, Mao's communists won, forcing the nationalists to the island of Taiwan. Today, the countries are functionally separate, but China still maintains that Taiwan is part of the same country. China remains a communist dictatorship, although it is slowly opening up. Taiwan is a capitalist democracy.
