The Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty (), formally ''Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States of America and the Republic of China'', essentially prevented the People's Republic of China from taking over Taiwan during 1955–1979. Some of its content was carried over to the Taiwan Relations Act. ==Background== In the context of Cold War and the confrontation between capitalism and communism worldwide, the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States of America and the Republic of China secured Taiwan from invasion by the People's Republic of China in the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War on mainland China. The treaty was signed on December 2, 1954 in Washington, D.C. and came into force on March 3, 1955.〔(CHINA )〕 The treaty prolonged and assisted the Republic of China in maintaining legitimacy as the sole government of the whole of mainland China until the early 1970s. During the Cold War, the treaty also helped US policy makers to shape the policy of containment in East Asia together with South Korea and Japan against the spread of Communism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
