Abstract
Since the conclusion of the Chinese Civil War, the Republic of China (ROC) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have maintained a complex relationship in which the PRC claims that the ROC is a PRC province, even though the ROC has its own two-party democratic system. The political separation of the ROC and the PRC is an exigent concern for the PRC, one that the PRC has threatened using military force to resolve. This thesis examines the military and political aspects of US involvement in the Asia Pacific during the Cold War, and how the United States used its security relationship with the ROC to establish a hegemonic presence and deter PRC aggressions against the ROC.
