Description:

The PRC was established after the communist party beat the nationalist forces in the Chinese Civil War. This marked the start of communist rule in China. The event impacted the cold war because it aligned with the soviet union and the US refused to identify it as a country for years. It also was significant to the Korean War because of China's aid to North Korea throughout the course of the war.
