How Did Mao Zedong Respond To The Chinese Civil War In China

* “North Korean and Chinese documents make clear that … Mao determined early in the war that should the North Koreans falter, China had an obligation to come to their aid because of the sacrifice of so many Koreans in the Chinese revolution, the anti-Japanese resistance, and the Chinese Civil War” (Cumings 25).

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.

Mao’s rise to power was as a result of favourable conditions resulting from both the failures of the Nationalist party (GMD) and the various successes of the Communist party (CCP). Before Mao was able to consolidate his power over China in 1949, he first had to become solitary leader of the CCP party; which he accomplished through his ideology, policies and leadership qualities.

It is located in China, The Chinese revolution is about overthrowing the Manchu dynasty and in the establishment of a republic in 1912 or the events that culminated in the overthrow of the Nationalist regime and the establishment of the People’s Republic of China by the Chinese Communist Party in 1949.The another name for The Chinese Communist Revolution is The Xinhai Revolution, it started at October 10 1911 – February 12 1912. The Communist Party of China is the founding and ruling political party of the People’s Republic of China and it is control by Mao zedong and other communist but the leader is Mao Zedong his own self and, the Nationalist China is a government on the island of Taiwan established and is controlled in 1949 by Chiang Kai-shek

China has been a communist country since the communist revolution took place in 1949, since then China has been ruled by the dictator Mao Tse-Tung. However the Chinese dictator died in September 1976, he was hailed abroad as one of the worlds’ great leaders. Certainly one of the more impressive aspects of the Chinese communist government, has been the willingness of the people to protest against it (3, pg. 4).

The Civil War is therefore simply not a case of the imminent decline of the Guomindang and the Communists' irresistible rise. Rather the Sino-Japanese War provided the framework for the decisions and strategies that would ultimately lead to Nationalist defeat. The war with Japan left the Guomindang decimated and they did need to undergo reform in order to survive; however the

Mao Zedong and His Communist Takeover of China Mao Zedong was born in Shaoshan on December 26, 1893, and he died September 9, 1976. He loved to learn and sought an education though his Father did not want him to get one. Mao Zedong took over China through communist peasant uprisings and a Chinese Civil War, and his rule led to 65 million Chinese being killed as a result of Mao trying to make China Socialist. One of the things that led to Mao Zedong becoming the dictator of China were the peasants uprisings he led causing the civil war.

It is clear that Mao’s initial goal was to gain power in China, which is demonstrated by his determination to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang (KMT) via his idiosyncratic version of communist revolution. In order to do so, Mao utilised methods he deemed most suitable for the communists and, more broadly, Chinese society. For example, unlike his Marxist predecessors, Mao believed that peasants, not urban workers, were the key to rebellion in China. Subsequently, in 1926, he organised peasant unions

However, after the Japanese retreat, the Communists and the Guomindang raced for control the areas that Japan had occupied. The USA became involved, because the US did not want the Communists to win control of China. They supported Guomindang troops to seize most other coastal cities and ports. The USA did not want to renew the civil war, therefore send General George C. Marshall to bring the two sides together in December 1945. He managed to sing a truce between them but it broke down in early 1946. The Civil War started. Guomindang seemed stronger because their military power was helped by America. Chiang Kai-shek was recognised as the true leader of China. Communists were not in good position, because they did not have air force and navy, they had few railways and they only had an army of 1 million men. It seemed really weak; they did not even have the help of a

Mao Zedong’s rise to political power as chairmen of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was made possible by the failings of the GouMinDan (GMD). After the fall of the Qing dynasty, in 1911, China fell into disarray where warlords had power, rather than a national government. Sun Yat-sen began a nationalist group whose militaristic tacts allowed them to unite china under a singular party, the GMD. Despite many revolutionary promises very little positive changes were made by Chiang Kai-shek, who became leader of the GMD in 1925.However because of the party’s lack of political knowledge and poor socio-economic abilities the GMD’s rule was a failure. Mao used this to project his own ideology on China in the form of Maoism. Mao’s ability to take advantage of China’s bad situation allowed him to receive the support he required in order to rise to power.

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

the absence of Zhou Enlai and Mao in initiative parts created a force battle created between Deng Xiaoping and Mao's backings, headed by Jiang Qing. Around the same time, understudies showed in Tiananmen Square out of appreciation for Zhou, bringing on an imperfection in Jiang's energy. Seeing his chance, Deng seized control and conveyed more youthful men with his perspectives to control. He created state constitutions and conveyed new strategies to the gathering in 1982. Deng's arrangement depended on the four modernizations of horticulture, industry, national guard, and science/innovation. In 1987, Deng resigned and Zhao Ziyang got to be general secretary, and Li Peng got to be head. China stayed calm for a few years after the force battle

Throughout the history of China, the civil strife in China had marked a significant event. With two parties established; the Nationalist known as Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist known as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), conflicts between them began to erupt due to their difference in beliefs when CCP began to question to morality of democracy and capitalism. This led to the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949). Although many see that, “early in the civil war it looked as though the Nationalists might prevail. They controlled key cities, their well-equipped troops far outnumbered Communist troops, and they had support from the United States,” (Tamura 180) the outcome of the war was not what everyone thought to be due to many

While the occupant powers were struggling to set ground for securing their interests, the Korean nationalism was at the most heated phase. Suffered through the Japanese colonial rule since 1910, the leaders of the two governments were determined to reunify Korea under their political regimes, and from their point view the only way to reach their aims was war. However, the United States and the Soviet Union were cautious not to take a role in initiating the war since neither of them was eager to prompt another to intervene. Being aware of their dependence on the superpowers, both leaders first had to gain the support of these countries to reach their goals. Until the beginning of the war, Kim Il-Sung particularly struggled hard to convince his mentor Stalin to provide him support in the war against the south.

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
