In their struggle against wartime Japan and later against international Communism, the United States and Nationalist China were necessary but awkward allies, united by common enemies but divided by sharply conflicting national priorities and contradictory objectives.
Locked in a common fight against Imperial Japan, the United States and Nationalist China became allies, but significant fissures in their relationship soon developed. Neither ally would accommodate each others core interests in strategies necessary to win the war. This disconnect continued after Japans surrender, as the United States pressed Chinese Nationalists and Communists to join a coalition government that neither wanted. During the civil war, the United States supported the Nationalists, but never to the degree they thought mattered. After the Communist triumph, America served its national security and anti-Communism, by helping the Nationalists defend Taiwan, but hedged against assisting Chiang Kai-shek to reconquer the mainland. Twice in the 1950s tensions in the Taiwan Strait nearly expanded into nuclear conflict.
