Modern Chinese History: Chinese Civil War: Jiang Jieshi AKA Chiang Ki Shek (a capitalist warlord) Vs. Mao Zedong (a communist peasant) The last Chinese Dynasty collapsed at the turn of the century in China tried to become a Democracy, but the people aren’t educated enoughto organize the whole country before the chaos of WWI happens in After WWI, in the 1920’s, China is ruled by Capitalist Warlords who use their private armies to control peasants and territory. Eventually Jiang Jieshi became the leader of these warlords. At the same time, Communists, led by Mao Zedong, challenged the capitalists and their Western allies. This led to Civil War.

The Long March As Mao marches through China he talks to average Chinese peasants everywhere to find out what they want. He is perceived as a man of the people. As Mao retreats from Jiang’s army he travels all across China, talking to the people and getting to know what they want. They in turn, get to know him. The Civil War goes on a break when the Japanese invade for WWII.
