Under the leadership of Jiang Jieshi, who had the former name spelled Chiang Kai-shek, Nationalists dominated in southwestern China. The U.S. had sent the Nationalists at least 1.5 billion in aid to fight Japanese during the war. However, the Nationalists just actually fought few battles against Japanese.
