China had become involved in a Civil War between Communists and Nationalists. Communists – Their leader was Mao Zedong and they won the loyalty of the peasants by promoting literacy and food production. Nationalists – Led by Jiang Jieshi (JJ) and supported by the United States.

At the beginning of the civil war, the Nationalists had the upper hand with more troops and US money. The Nationalists did not do much to win popularity with the poor and thousands of Nationalist soldiers ended up deserting to the Communists. Mao and the Communists eventually take control of the country and proclaimed it the People’s Republic of China in 1949.

China had split into two nations. The Nationalists who fled to the island of Taiwan. The Nationalists were aided by the United States. Pledged to come to their aid. Mainland Communist China. The Communists were aided by The Soviet Union. Pledged to come to their aid.

In 1950, China brutally assaulted and took over Tibet. The Chinese promised that they would leave the Tibetans alone, but they lied. The Dalai Lama fled to India and there is still tension between Tibet, India, and China.

Mao and the Communists seized land from wealthy farmers and divided the land among the peasants. Mao killed farmers who resisted.

Private companies were brought under government ownership. Mao launched a five-year plan that set very high production goals for industry. Due to the five-year plan, China’s output of coal, cement, steel, and electricity had increased dramatically.

Page 974.

The friendship between The Soviet Union and China began to break. Because of this loss of friendship and the failure of “The Great Leap Forward”, Mao wanted to reenergize the Communist spirit in China. Mao urged young people to “learn revolution by making revolution.” Millions of students left school and formed militia units called Red Guards.

The Red Guards led a major uprising known as the Cultural Revolution. The goal of the Cultural Revolution was to establish a society of peasants and workers in which all were equal. The hardworking peasant became the hero of young Chinese.

The Red Guard shut down schools and targeted anyone who resisted. Intellectuals had to “purify” themselves by doing hard labor in work camps. Mao eventually realized that the Cultural Revolution was a failure and had the military put down the Red Guard.
