>> Communsim has been in china for a long time. Some of the ideas that lead to this came from Karl Marx, who had ideas of a classless society. IN 1918 Mao Zedong, a librairian at the university of Bejing, created his own society based off Marxism( marx's ideas). The society rapidly gained popularity, and led to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. Sun Yatsen, was the current leader and wanted to free them from foreign control and take control of the whole of China. Many european countries didnt support him, so he got help from communist russia. Chang Kaishek, then took over, the Kuomintang army ( lead by communists) fought with chang's army , afterword the red army was est. By October 1934, Chiang's army to oust the communists caused heavy losses and the CCP were driven into a small area in Jiangxi. On the edge of throwing in the towel, the communists decided to retreat from Jiangxi and march north to Shanxi. This was known as the famous 'Long March'. The march from Jiangxi in October 1934, took a year to complete and covered about 8000 km over hostile landscape.Long March' showed that the Chinese peasants could attack if they were armed, organised and lead. This brought together many leaders such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, who were to head the CCP after 1949. Mao Zedong was recognized as the supreme leader of the Chinese communist movement. world war two ended with an allied win leading to Chang and Mao signing a treaty to agree on avoiding a civil war and establishing a new independent China in 1946. Unfortunately, the Kuomintang broke the peace and had the intention to crush the CCP. the chinese eventually began to lose trust Kuomintang because of theirtheir poor credibility. kuomintang was prevailing over the CCP in the early years of the civil war, as can be seen in Kuomintang's occupancy of Yan'an, the location of CCP central headquarters, in March 1947. Nonetheless, CCP was able to gain people's support by promoting Land Reform and buying time. Chang resigned as Kuomintang's head in January 1949. Kuomintang refused to accept unconditional surrender in the negotiation for peace. Due to the lack of compromise, the Red Army started to attack major Chinese cities like Shanghai and Nanjing. in the years to follow the ccp tried to set up marxiam in china.There was a <span style="background-color: transparent ! important; border-bottom: 0.075em solid #006400 ! important; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; bottom: auto; color: #006400 ! important; display: inline; float: none; font-family: inherit ! important; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal ! important; left: auto; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 1px ! important; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: static ! important; right: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline ! important; top: auto;">tide of capitalism overcoming the Chinese population in the 1960s and the CCP tried to stop this by engaging a vast ideological reform which was known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which resulted in many dead in 1976. The rapid decline of Communism was kept in check by the moderate wing of the CCP which took over the country. today the government still tries to reform iberate and modernize the country with the people's effort. but there are still various issues.

Each partnership must prepare two questions to be asked of members of other groups. Place each question on the front of a separate index card and write your name **AND** the name of your reformer on the back. Ten percent of your grade will be determined by the quality of the questions that you ask and the quality of the answers you give when asked a question by another reformer. Cards will be collected. __//**You will be expected to intelligently answer questions posed by other reformers.**//__
