The Qing Dynasty fell in 1912 this was followed by a period of warlordism and the formation of the Republic of China. Slowly communism started to rise being spread by Mao Zedong. The ideas of communism appealed to many people. Zedong had been become a member of the Nationalist Army as the Revolution began around 1911. He was soon introduced to and became powerfully influenced by the philosophies of Marxism. Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-Tung), the son of a peasant farmer, was born in Chaochan, China, in 1893. He became a Marxist while working as a library assistant at Peking University and served in the revolutionary army during the 1911 Chinese Revolution. He would eventually become one of the most famous dictators of China. The “Four Greatest Inventions” China has create are the compass, gunpowder, paper and printing. They have also made a really big wall (to keep the rabbits out). The ‘Long March’ was a military retreat held by the Red Army of the Communist Party of China to escape pursuit from the Chinese Nationalist Party. Instead of being one long march, it was made of many marches undertaken by different Communist armies who escaped from the south to the north and east. The march helped Mao’s rise to power as his leadership during the retreat gained him support in the army. Communism is a socialist movement whereby social classes are abolished and individual ownership of property does not exist.
