When China Failed to Conquer Taiwan: the Battle for Kinmen Island
This is an archive channel, i'm not the owner of the content, check the link in the end. The Battle for Kinmen Island
The Chinese Civil War went very well for the Chinese Communist Party in 1949 and the Nationalists were on the run. After another devastating loss at the city of Xiamen, Chiang Kai-Shek and his Nationalist forces retreated to the island of Taiwan. But the People’s Liberation Army looked unstoppable and Taiwan’s fall seemed inevitable.
The Battle of Kinmen, also known as the Battle of Guningtou, ended those expectations. A combination of too much hubris and too little information conspired to inflict upon the Communist Party its most devastating defeat of the war and set the foundation for the split between China and Taiwan today.
