Before the Communist Revolution, China had a dynastic system for their form of government. A dynastic system consisted of China being ruled by emperors and it started around 221 BC. The first known dynasty in China is the Shang Dynasty. The social classes included the upper class of nobles, the working class, and slaves. In the Shang Dynasty, China was well- known for their well- organized armies and the chariots they used. Their system of writing consisted of pictures called ideograms, pictograms and phonograms. The dynastic system left China in 1911 when the Qing Dynasty ended. A republican form of government was introduced where warlords governed the country. This type of government was weak for China and Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Nationalist Party, searched for help from other countries to try to bring down the warlords. Unfortunately, western countries did not give their help, and China went to the Soviet Union for help instead. The Soviet Union agreed to help them out but they pushed for China to become communist. This decision eventually led to the civil war that occurred in China. The civil war started in April of 1927 and lasted until May of 1950. It was between the Chines Nationalist Party and the Chinese Communist Party after the Northern Expedition, which took place from 1926-1928. This was an expedition to try and stop the warlords and end feudalism, or a system of government where kings and nobles ruled the land. The Nationalist Party was supported by many western countries and the Communist Party was supported by the Soviet Union in Russia. From 1936-1945 the civil war had to stop for a little while because Japan had invaded Manchuria. Instead of fighting each other during this time, both parti... ... middle of paper ... ...e up with his Five Year Plan to try to create more of a world power by increasing China’s industry. At the beginning of the Revolution, China had been receiving money from the Soviet Union because they signed the Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance. This money allowed China to start to actually modernize its industries. Mao’s Five Year Plan’s main goal was to create better industry but also create more and better production of steel, coal, and iron. TO achieve these goals factories and mines were given specific goals to achieve and if they did not meet these goals, the factory believed they were failing its own people. Because of Mao’s Plan, the economic growth rose and most of the goals set were accomplished. The only problem was that the success of it was because there were a lot of Soviet Union advisers that helped China through the Plan.
The Civil War was the bloodiest, most devestating war that has ever been fought on American soil. It began on April 12, 1861, at 4:30 in the morning. The main reason that the war was fought was because Southern states believed that they should have the right to use African-Americans as slaves, and the Northern States opposed that belief.
1. The civil war was fought between the Northern and the Southern states from 1861-1865.
The Civil War took place from 1861-1865. And this war was caused over the dispute of slaves. The U.S was continuing to add states and the south wanted the states to become slave states, but the North wanted the states to be free states. This is when we realized we had many problems with our country and we needed to fix them. And the end of the war came with a great outcome. The ending of this war ended slavery for the whole U.S. Meaning that all African Americans in the U.S. were free. And they no longer had to be under slavery. This war was the one to end the 245 years of slavery we had in the U.S. And that changed our country
The Civil War was a war fought between the the North and South in 1861. The Civil War happen because of hard tensions between the North and South over whether or not slavery rights follows with them in the new states in the westward expansion. The presidential election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 caused seven Southern states to secede from the Union and form the Confederate States of America, four more states later on joined them. The Civil War had many battles and the South had to go against the North and Confederate States which also made it hard for them. The Civil War ended in the
Most of China was ruled by Chiang Kaishek, a military dictator. The rest of China was ruled under communism by Mao Zedong. Chiang Kaishek aimed to modernise the railways, the postal services. and the telecommunications industry. In addition, powerful foreign companies.

He foresaw, along with Chinese general, Chu Teh, that the Communist Party theory of revolution based out of Moscow with an urban industrial proletariat base would be a futile attempt to undertake in his country. Mao grew up as a peasant and he trusted the peasant to carry out his attack to overthrow the Nationalists.
This was a program which called for major steel production. Mao Zedong wanted to make China a “first-class modern power”(221). Mao wanted the steel production of the country to double in only one year, as he called on the whole population to help. All other work and schooling stopped. There was a new quota for each unit to produce.
The Civil War started when the confederate warships shot at the union soldiers at Fort Sumter, in South Carolina on April 12, in 1861. It ended in the spring of, 1865 because General Robert E. Lee had surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9. But it still wasn’t over until the last battle at Palmito Ranch in Texas on May 13. But before there was a civil war there was slavery and events that would attempt to end it.
Which in order to accelerate his plan he had to turn China into a modern sized industrialized state. Because of this Mao decided to launch what was known as the "Great Leap Forward". “Which began the mass mobilization of the people into collectives and many communities were assigned production of a single “commodity steel”” (Keynes 46). He wanted to increase agriculture by this and only made it worse with bad weather, chaos, and exports of food necessary to secure hard currency (Keynes 32). This resulted in the Great Chinese Famine which made food short and production fell dramatically. This caused the deaths of millions which didn 't make Mao so popular and some began to hate him as a ruler. In 1959, Mao resigned as the State Chairman and this was continued by Liu Shaoqi (Keynes
Civil War, in U.S. history, conflict (1861–65) between the Northern states (the Union) and the Southern states that seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy. It is generally known in the South as the War between the States and is also called the War of the Rebellion, the War of Secession, and the War for Southern Independence. The name Civil War, although much criticized as inexact, is most widely accepted. Many texans fought for the confederacy in the civil war, to keep slaves, to secede, and state rights.
The North and the South really butted heads towards the end which resulted in the Civil War. The South didn’t like the fact that the north was getting more resources such as railroads, industrial technology, technology, and other things that the south wanted. They were also very terrified of the north expanding into their territory and abolishing slavery all over. The North received a big impact from this when the economy dropped right before the Civil war took place. Since the economy was so industrial based this really affected what they were doing, as for the south, they were continuing to sell cotton and nothing was putting them in jeopardy. Soon when everyone had enough, the Civil War broke out on April 12,
China was now lead by Mao Zedong. He announced that China’s government would now be called the PRC, the people's republic of China. Mao Zedong pulled China out of troubles with Japan and Western countries. He also tried to modernize the country. In 1949, the Chinese revolution starts when Mao Zedong fled to Taiwan to take back their
China has been ruled by the Communist Party ever since. It was the events between 1946 and 1964 that strengthened communism in China. At the end of World War II, the Nationalist Party (GMD) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) raced for power in China. The chairman of the Communist Party was Mao Zedong and their army was known as the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The Nationalist’s were led by Chiang Kai-shek and their army was the Kuomintang.
This split between the communists and the nationalists led to the Chinese Civil War. The Chinese Civil War (1927-37 & 1946-49) was fought between the Communist Party of China (CCP) and the Republic of China led by the Kuomintang (KMT). The Civil War was won by the CCP because of their strengths and successes under the leadership of Mao, such as the support of 3 million peasants in Jiangxi, and the mistakes and weaknesses of the KMT, in particular Chiang Kai-shek’s lacking leadership skills. The decisive outcome of the Civil War was leadership between the KMT and the CCP. The outcome of the Civil War was won by the strengths and successes of CCP, particularly during the Second Civil War under Mao’s leadership.
In China, the People’s Republic of China was the Chinese communist party headed by Chairman Mao Zedong. During his rule, Chairman Mao’s most famous event was his second “5 Year Plan” or better known as China’s Great Leap Forward in 1958. The Great Leap forward was similar to Russia’s 5 year plan as it had focused on focused on the countries heavy industry. The People’s Republic of China had put in price controlling regulations on the market, enforced a Chinese character simplification in order to increase the low literacy rates, and finally implement large-scale industrialization
