US gave financial help to Nationalists in China during WWII to prevent them from falling to Japan
After WWII the US cut off funds and the Nationalists and Communists began to fight in a civil war
Truman attempted to stop the conflict without success
Eventually China fell to communism and the Nationalists were forced to retreat to what is now Taiwan
After the war, the Soviet Union and China created a pact that linked the two large communist nations together
Americans were surprised in the fall of the Nationalists, and blamed Truman and his administration for lack of strength
