The Chinese Civil War

We were assigned for homework to search for info on the Chinese Civil War, and then in your own words summarize it. So this is what I found--

The Chinese Civil War was between the Chinese Nationalist Party, known as the Kuomintang, and the Chinese Communist Party and took place from 1927 until 1950. It lasted a little over 23 years. The Chinese Nationalist Party and the Chinese Communist Party were allies during the Northern Expedition, but afterwards, a group of people in the Chinese Nationalist Party, whom were led by Chiang Kai-shek, wanted to break up the alliance between the Nationalists and Communists. They then went into war against each other, but the war paused between 1937 and 1945 because of the Second Sino-Japanese War. In 1946 the war between the Chinese National Party and the Chinese Communist Party continued, and then ended 1950, although there is still a rivalry between the two parties.
