In 1945, after the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Mao Ze Dong and members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) travel to Chongqing for a meeting with Chiang Kai Shek and the Kuomintang (KMT). The following year, Chiang Kai Shek calls for a National Assembly in Nanjing and is elected as President of the Republic of China (ROC). At the same time, the peace negotiations between the CPC and KMT fail, and the civil war continues. In May 1948, the CPC declares the opening of a "War of Liberation" against Chiang's ROC government, with many other political parties responding to the call and taking the CPC's side.
