Communists Won The Civil War

First, the South couldn’t have won the civil war because state’s rights prevented unification of the South. The very issue that created the Confederacy helped to destroy it. In waging war, the South faced problems of politics and government that greatly complicated its problem of economic mobilization. No one would deny the troublesome effect of the conflict generated by differing ideas of how best to protect liberty and to organize southern society for the war effort. Southern people insisted upon retaining their democratic liberties in wartime, which proved fatal for the South. They had to struggle with a “confederacy formed by

Despite how hard the communists tried to rebuild the economy, they failed and were distrusted by the citizens. People became Anti-communism as the Reichstag Fire happened with the rise of

A conversation between a teenage peasant and his grandfather explained some of the goods that communism had brought to the Chinese. From the grandfather’s point of view, Communism had brought nothing but greatness to the Chinese state, but at the time period such claims would often be argued, thus building tension.(DOC 2). With the prevalent tension and the armed peasants it led to a mass reform during this period. An Addition document that may help in this would most definitely be a journal from a pro Communism and anti Communism to see the variety of views on the group.

The Civil War was full of blood, sweat and tears. But like any other competition, war, battle, combat, you name it, there always has to be a champion. In this specific war, the north was victorious over the south. There are many military factors that go into determining why the north won the Civil War. The battles that were fought showed the determination and the strength of the north. The leaders from the very beginning to the very end and their decisions through out the war showed courage and intelligence over the leaders of the south. The environments that the soldiers were surrounded by even had an impact on the outcome. Noticing how the north became an offensive threat and the south became a defensive threat become clear early on in the war. By paying attention to the timeline of events and the small details of the military factors of the war one can predict from the very beginning that the north was going to win the nation over the south.

Over the past hundred years, there has been some controversy over the idea of the reasons why the North/Union won the civil war. Some people may say the North won because they had better strategies, while others will say it was because of how big the Union was. But let it be heard from this point forward that the North won the civil war because the North had better resources, way more troops, won the Battle of Gettysburg, had better strategic and noble generals, and was always on the offensive during the war.

Though Stalin was the main reason Russia is the strong country it is currently, countless people died. In fact, Stalin executed more people than Hitler killed, which is a horrific amount. China, like Russia, was not an advanced country in the least. The country was ruled by corrupt nationalists, who despised communists and killed them. This made China's change from a more nationalistic governing to a communist system very difficult and very bloody. Mao Zedong was a leader in the communist party during the civil war between nationalists and communists. He began as a strong and well-loved leader, quite opposite from Stalin. Mao Zedong would listen to others very well and try to understand their way of thinking, which made him a very successful and loved leader. But when the communist party took over China, he began to change into a hard-headed and less understanding man. Communism under Mao Zedong was beneficial for China. Mao Zedong pushed the citizens of China to be cooperative with each other and share all of their belongings. He also tried to gain the trust and love of all the lower class citizens by taking lands from the higher class citizens and giving them to lower class citizens. He killed many landlords, which the majority of Chinese love him. He was praised for his cruelty. So, in the end, Stalin and Mao Zedong became somewhat similar in their leadership, but Stalin was much more cruel.

Overall both of the revolution overcame strong political forces within the nation I which in the end none seemed to accomplish much. The Russian still strived to improve prosperity and their social aspects as well as the Chinese who sought to improve economically freedom.

At the end of the Sino-Japanese War the Guomindang held significant advantages over the Communists, with its widely recognised legitimate government controlling China, giving it the power to tax and conscript. On the other hand, the Communists could not match the Guomindang's troops in terms of training and equipment and could be "outgunned and outmanoeuvred in all major regions of the country" (Westad, 2003: 8). Furthermore, the Communist party was hardly represented in the cities at all, which of course was the power base of the Guomindang. However, the Communists also had successes resulting from the war with Japan including increasing their area of control and practiced evolving their strategies of protracted guerrilla warfare against the Japanese which in turn generated public support. Despite this the party's main forces were still located in North-west China and they were not in such a powerful position that a civil war with the Guomindang would be a mere formality in securing control of the country.

With Chinese intellectuals being intrigued by socialist policies, especially Leninism, Communist International agents began meeting with influential officials in two rising political parties in China. The larger of the two parties the Communist International agents met with was the Chinese Nationalist Party. The nationalist party was largely focused on gaining control of the current Republic of China and then properly implementing its intended government system. The Comintern viewed the nationalist party as anti-imperialistic and thought that anti-imperialism would garner the greatest amount of support in China. The nationalist party and Comintern came to an agreement to work together that featured Comintern sending advisors and military equipment.

While a war was being fought in Europe and Japan, not too far away was a civil war in China. For centuries China was usually fighting itself or another Asian country. Starting again during the early 20th century, China endured another civil war. opposing sides were the competitors in this civil war. The Communists, led by Mao Zedong, was one of the competitors. Mao first rose to power when he attended a Communist meeting that would mark his beginning. The meeting persuaded him to commit to the party and soon he was encouraging to do the same as he did. He established some inviting elements towards the poor to make them want to join the party. His party seemed to be rising to the top, but he would soon be crushed by the opposing party, the Nationalists led by Jiang Jiehsi. Jiang Jiehsi took over the Nationalist party and put themselves in the position to fight against the Communists. He appealed more towards the middle class merchants and therefore their numbers of the peasant supporters were greatly less than that of the communist side. Many also believed that their government was corrupt. With these two sides so far in philosophy and

After examining the reasons for the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War, one can certainly say that it is due to the superior leadership, organization, and support that they achieved victory. Lenin and Trotsky provided the

The aftermath of the nationalists parties purge of communists had an effect on both parties. For the nationalist party, it suffered a split. Many members disagreed with Chiang Kai-shek betraying the parties communist allies. They set up a separate nationalist group based in Wuhan, China. Chiang Kai-Shek continued his mission to take control of China for the nationalists though. After the Chiang Kai-Shek led nationalist army captured and took control of Beijing the alternative nationalist group said they had been fooled and admitted to Chiang Kai-Shek taking the proper action. Also the victory in Beijing was followed by the nationalists setting up their government in Nanjing China. This would end the time period of China being controlled by

During 1927 to 1950 China was locked in a period of civil strife. It actually has been going on for much longer but this time it was between the two main warring forces. The nationalist Kuomintang party and the communist, communist party. Before China broke apart in different views they were ruled by long running dynasties. For China, it only took half a century to completely change their ways and become the very industrialised country we know now. The China in 1930 had twice the size of today’s US. It’s quite impressive that China was able to change so much with just a couple revolutions. In the 19th century China was ruled by the Qing dynasty same in the 18th and 17th. It was during the 19th century that the westerner colonists and merchants turned their focus to China. The Qing did not accept

The tactics used for dominance changed due to the Soviet and American influence in the Chinese Civil War; while the Algerian Revolution had no outside influence besides the colonizer, which has changed the long-term stability of these countries. The fighting strategies used in these revolutions were not new, but the effectiveness of these tactics was perfect for the combat situation. The Chinese Civil War was fought between the Communist Party of China (CCP) and the Republic of China(PRC). The Communist Party was formed from students, but the leader was lead by Mao Zedong. The CCP was very popular among the common people and “students who were tired of being ignored by the corrupt PRC.” Before the Chinese Civil War, the Republic of China

After a bitter civil war (1946-1949), which faced the major Chinese parties Kuomintang and CCP, Kuomintang’s defeat, evidenced with Chiang’s and 200.000 people´s fled to Formosa, Mao Zedong (1893-1976), born in Shoshan, Hunan, proclaimed the new People´s Republic of China with himself as both Chairman of the CCP and President of the republic in October 1949. How did the under numbered and weak CCP, founded by the same person in 1921 manage to survive several extermination campaigns and re-organize the party to win the civil war, crushing opposition and establish the Chinese
