When the Republic of China was first established it had the entire mainland China plus the island of Taiwan under its belt. In 1945, a communist government called the People's Republic of China attempts to take over China. As the fight goes on, the Republic of China is pushed back to the Island of Taiwan, where is still resides today. The area where the Republic of China started in was not colonized at any point, and this republic still claims mainland China, while the People's Republic claims the island of Taiwan.
