Mao Zedong emphasized the role of the peasantry, rather than the urban proletariat, as the revolutionary force. Land redistribution, collectivization, and class struggle were key elements, while Maoism promoted continuous revolution to prevent the rise of capitalist tendencies within socialism. The Communist Revolution in China began with the struggle between the Nationalists (KMT) and Communists (CPC) during the Chinese Civil War (1927-1949). After Japan's defeat in WWII, the conflict resumed, culminating in the Communist victory in 1949. Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China, followed by land reforms, collectivization, and social restructuring. Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT), played a key role in the Chinese Communist Revolution by leading the Nationalist forces against the Communists during the Chinese Civil War. His government was weakened by corruption and poor public support, ultimately leading to the Communist victory in 1949, after which Chiang fled to Taiwan. |
