The Republic of China (ROC), or simply China, was a sovereign state based in Mainland China from 1912 to 1949. It was first established in 1 January 1912, when it was proclaimed in the 1911 Revolution against the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, until 7 December 1949, after its ruling party Kuomintang (KMT) was defeated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at the de facto end of the Chinese Civil War, which resulted in a retreat of its central government to Taiwan, a territory which it took control of from the Empire of Japan in October 1945 after its surrender in World War II. The CCP-led People's Republic of China (PRC) then took over the governance of Mainland China with its capital in Beijing upon its establishment in 1 October 1949, while the ROC is now based on the island of Taiwan with its capital in Taipei, where it retains actual rule over the Taiwan Area with the political status of Taiwan remaining in dispute to this day.
