RISE OF COMMUNISM IN CHINA
Communism is still evident in China, to track down the origins of communism in
China is not impossible what is important for one to understand is how certain ideas
produced what communist China is today.

HISTORY:
At the beginning of the 1900s, China was ruled by the Kuomintang (People's
National Party), which was lead by Doctor Sun Yatsen, it was for the first time in
China that a non-imperial government was ruling it.
In 1921, the members of a society which was lead by Mao Zedong eventually
founded the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Mao Zedong started a society in 1918
to study on Karl Marx.
Following the Boxer Rebellion1 of 1900,China's citizens experienced starvation,
extreme poverty, and grief resulting in the loss of many innocent lives. This set the
stage for the acceptance of men like Zedong.
During and after the Great Revolution (1914—1918), China saw several
movements which strongly fostered a path into Communism.
 Sun Yatsen wanted to free China from foreign control and take control of the
whole of China. Many of the European powers, like Britain, did not support him.
As a result, he had to ask for help from the USSR, which had a communism
government.
Chang and Mao signed 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. This culminated in the Civil War in July
1946.
Inflation also resulted from the erroneous issuing of banknotes, causing starvation
and dropping productivity. The Chinese began to lose trust for Kuomintang due to
their poor credibility. These times of chaos and despair played a large role in
acceptance of Mao.
Mao Zedong led the communists after the army successfully finished the
Revolution by defeating the nationalists.
 In the end of 1949, the CCP won the civil war with the support of the Chinese
people and the People's Republic of China was established.
