Summary
Mao Zedong's failure to conquer Taiwan stemmed from the need to consolidate power in mainland China, a lack of naval strength, and the threat of U.S. intervention. After setbacks in the Korean War and U.S. military reinforcements, Mao realized that an invasion would be costly, leading to a shift towards peaceful reunification.
