The document summarizes the key reasons why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) defeated the Kuomintang (KMT) party in the Chinese Civil War from 1945-1949. When World War 2 ended in 1945, the CCP already controlled much of rural China while the KMT was confined to Sichuan province. Despite initial US support for Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT, by adopting guerrilla warfare tactics and gradually shifting to conventional battles, the CCP's military forces (PLA) were able to seize the initiative, capture key cities and territories, and ultimately force the KMT to retreat to Taiwan by 1949, allowing Mao Zedong to establish control of mainland China.

Civil War - 1945-49
The document discusses the Chinese Civil War between the Communist Party of China (CCP) and the nationalist Kuomintang (GMD) from 1946-1949. It examines their differing aims and policies. The CCP aimed to empower peasants by reducing rents and taxes, banning outdated practices, and establishing women's groups. They gained widespread rural support. In contrast, the GMD struggled with inflation, worker strikes, and unrest in the cities they controlled. Ultimately, the CCP's shift to conventional warfare tactics in their "Strong Point Offensive" allowed them to defeat the GMD and take control of China by 1949.
Civil War - 1945-49
The document provides background information on the Chinese Civil War between the Communist Party of China (CCP) and the Kuomintang (GMD) nationalist party. It examines why the CCP was ultimately victorious over the GMD in 1949. Key reasons for the CCP's success included that they offered land reform that appealed to peasants, built strong rural bases of support, and effectively utilized guerilla warfare tactics. Meanwhile, the GMD faced issues of corruption, economic problems in the cities they controlled, and an inability to counter the CCP's shifting military strategies. By 1949, the CCP had defeated the GMD and established control over most of China, culminating in the founding of the People's Republic of China
A Time for Change
The document summarizes the Chinese Civil War between the nationalist Kuomintang party led by Chiang Kai-shek and the communist party led by Mao Zedong from 1911 to 1949. It describes how the nationalist and communist parties initially allied but later split in 1927 over control of territory. The civil war officially began in 1946 when Chiang attacked communist forces. By 1949, Mao had defeated the nationalists and established the People's Republic of China, while the nationalists retreated to Taiwan.
The Long March
The document discusses the key events and significance of the Long March undertaken by the Chinese Communist Party from 1934-1935. It describes how the Communists were surrounded and attacked by the Kuomintang forces using blockhouse tactics on the advice of German advisors. This led to major losses for the CCP who were forced to abandon their bases. The march south and breakout was led and organized poorly by Otto Braun, but leadership was handed to Mao Zedong in 1935 who guided the Communists over difficult terrain and across rivers to establish a new base in Yanan. The Long March demonstrated the Communists' survival and boosted their reputation and support across China.
War with Japan
The document discusses Japan's invasion of China in the early 20th century. It provides background on Japan's increasing control over areas of China from 1895. It then examines the reasons for Japan's full invasion of Manchuria in 1931, including Japan viewing China as weak and seeking to replace it as Asia's dominant power. The document also looks at the impact of the Japanese invasion on China, including the brutal Nanjing Massacre that sought to terrify the Chinese population into submission but had the opposite effect of galvanizing resistance. Finally, it evaluates how the war with Japan contributed to the growth of the Chinese Communist Party by allowing it to position itself as a force resisting foreign aggression.
grudic_mao___china1.pptx
Mao Zedong consolidated authoritarian control over China after 1949 through mass mobilization campaigns and propaganda that promoted his cult of personality. Campaigns like the Three Antis and Five Antis targeted private businesses and government officials to eliminate opposition. Strict censorship and thought reform ensured people supported Mao's policies. The Hundred Flowers Campaign briefly allowed criticism but was followed by a crackdown. Mao maintained power through the Communist Party and Cultural Revolution until his death in 1976.
Manchuria IGCSE History
The Japanese army invaded Manchuria in 1931 claiming China had sabotaged the Manchurian railway. They established the puppet state of Manchukuo. The League of Nations appointed a commission that reported Japan was the aggressor and should withdraw from Manchuria. However, Japan ignored the League's demands and resigned from the League in 1933, continuing their expansion by invading Jehol. The League's failure to enforce its rulings discredited it and showed that countries could ignore the League if they were powerful enough.
Timeline Civil War
The Japan-China War lasted from 1937 to 1945, during which time Japan conquered much of eastern China but did not occupy the entire country due to lack of manpower. The war ended with Japan's surrender in 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This led to a civil war between the Communist Party and the nationalist Kuomintang party. Although initially better equipped and supported by the US, the Kuomintang lost support among the people due to economic problems and corruption. By 1948, the Communist Party had grown in strength and defeated the Kuomintang forces, establishing control of mainland China and founding the People's Republic of China while the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan.

Two chinas H00230933
China has a long history as an empire ruled by emperors for over 2000 years. In the early 20th century, China was divided between two rival factions - the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong. From 1934-1935, Mao and the Communist Red Army embarked on the famous Long March across China to escape the Kuomintang, covering nearly 10,000 kilometers and surviving harsh conditions, though most soldiers perished. Eventually in 1949, Mao's Communist forces defeated the Kuomintang, who fled to Taiwan, and Mao established the People's Republic of China with him as chairman.

Japan-China War and The Civil War Timeline
The Japan-China War began in 1937 when Japan invaded China in an attempt to control the country. Japan made several conquests but lacked the manpower to fully occupy China. The war ended in 1945 after the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender. This started a civil war between the Communist Party and the nationalist Guomindang party. Despite initial successes, the Guomindang struggled with inflation, public unrest, and losing US support. They were defeated by the Communist Party's People's Liberation Army in 1948, leading to the establishment of the People's Republic of China while the Guomindang retreated to Taiwan.

Topic 2 the origins of the korean war
The Korean War began when North Korean forces invaded South Korea in June 1950, crossing the 38th parallel border between the two countries. The invasion was backed by the Soviet Union, which had established North Korea as a communist state and supplied it with weapons and military advisors. The United States decided to intervene on behalf of South Korea through the United Nations to stop the invasion, seeing it as an act of Soviet aggression that breached postwar agreements. With UN authorization, US and other UN forces pushed the North Korean army back above the 38th parallel, but China then intervened on North Korea's side, leading to a prolonged war.

Max chinese civil war
The Chinese Civil War began in 1946 and ended in 1949 with the victory of Mao Zedong and the Communist Party of China over the Kuomintang nationalist party led by Chiang Kai-shek. The war resulted from the struggle for power and control of China between the nationalists and communists after their alliance against Japan in World War II. By 1948, many nationalist soldiers had defected to the communists who also had greater popular support from peasants. This helped the communists achieve several decisive victories over the nationalists. In 1949, communist forces took control of Beijing and mainland China, forcing the nationalists to retreat to Taiwan.
The Northern Expeditions
1. The Northern Expedition led by the Guomindang armies took control of major cities in China from 1926-1927 but faced resistance from warlords and could not establish full control over the country.
2. In 1927, the Guomindang turned on their Communist allies and massacred them in Shanghai and other cities, forcing the Communists to retreat to rural bases like the Jiangxi Soviet.
3. While the Guomindang nominally unified northern China by 1928 with the help of warlords, real control was limited as warlords still held power in their own territories and the Communists grew stronger in the countryside, gaining peasant support through land reforms. The Guomindang struggled to establish authority

Korea and southeast asia in the modern world
The Yi Dynasty in Korea went into decline in the late 16th century due to several factors: chronic conflicts weakened the authorities; the country was devastated by Japanese invasions in the late 16th century and invaded by Manchus in 1626. Korea was then poorly prepared to resist Western imperialism in the 19th century and rejected foreign ideas. It suffered under Japanese rule from 1910 to 1945 before being divided after World War II, with the South and North each backed by opposing superpowers.
30.3 imperial china collapses
After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, nationalist and communist movements struggled for power in China. The Kuomintang (Nationalist Party) overthrew the Qing and established a new republic led by Sun Yixian, but the government was unstable. In the 1920s, the Communist Party of China was formed under Mao Zedong and began gaining support from peasants dissatisfied with the nationalist government's corruption. A civil war then broke out between the nationalists led by Jiang Jieshi and the communists led by Mao, which was still raging in the late 1930s when Japan invaded China and suspended the civil war as the two Chinese factions allied against the common enemy.
Japanese Invasion 1931-7
The Japanese gradually expanded their control over Manchuria and parts of northern China from 1931 to 1937 through a series of military occupations and expeditions. In 1931, Japanese troops occupied Manchuria against orders and established the puppet state of Manchukuo. From 1933 to 1936, the Kwantung Army continued occupying more territories outside of Manchuria.

This helped the communists achieve several decisive victories over the nationalists. In 1949, communist forces took control of Beijing and mainland China, forcing the nationalists to retreat to Taiwan.
The Northern Expeditions
1. The Northern Expedition led by the Guomindang armies took control of major cities in China from 1926-1927 but faced resistance from warlords and could not establish full control over the country.
2. In 1927, the Guomindang turned on their Communist allies and massacred them in Shanghai and other cities, forcing the Communists to retreat to rural bases like the Jiangxi Soviet.
3. While the Guomindang nominally unified northern China by 1928 with the help of warlords, real control was limited as warlords still held power in their own territories and the Communists grew stronger in the countryside, gaining peasant support through land reforms. The Guomindang struggled to establish authority
Theme 3 & 4.pptx history
The document summarizes key events in Korea since 1945, focusing on the Korean War and its aftermath. It discusses how the war started as a result of the division of Korea after WWII and escalated with Chinese intervention. Though a truce was reached in 1953, the Korean peninsula remains divided and in a state of conflict. The document also examines the industrialization of South Korea under Park's authoritarian rule in the 1960s-70s and its subsequent democratization and economic globalization in the 1980s-90s as South Korea transformed into a developed country.
Korea and southeast asia in the modern world
The Yi Dynasty in Korea went into decline in the late 16th century due to several factors: chronic conflicts weakened the authorities; the country was devastated by Japanese invasions in the late 16th century and invaded by Manchus in 1626. Korea was then poorly prepared to resist Western imperialism in the 19th century and rejected foreign ideas. It suffered under Japanese rule from 1910 to 1945 before being divided after World War II, with the South and North each backed by opposing superpowers.
30.3 imperial china collapses
After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, nationalist and communist movements struggled for power in China. The Kuomintang (Nationalist Party) overthrew the Qing and established a new republic led by Sun Yixian, but the government was unstable. In the 1920s, the Communist Party of China was formed under Mao Zedong and began gaining support from peasants dissatisfied with the nationalist government's corruption. A civil war then broke out between the nationalists led by Jiang Jieshi and the communists led by Mao, which was still raging in the late 1930s when Japan invaded China and suspended the civil war as the two Chinese factions allied against the common enemy.
Japanese Invasion 1931-7
The Japanese gradually expanded their control over Manchuria and parts of northern China from 1931 to 1937 through a series of military occupations and expeditions. In 1931, Japanese troops occupied Manchuria against orders and established the puppet state of Manchukuo. From 1933 to 1936, the Kwantung Army continued occupying more territories outside of Manchuria. In 1937, unable to unite China against them, the Japanese launched a full invasion of China in an attempt to prevent the formation of a strong Chinese united front.

Manchurian Crisis. On September 18, 1931, an explosion destroyed a section of railway track near the city of Mukden. The Japanese, who owned the railway, blamed Chinese nationalists for the incident and used the opportunity to retaliate and invade Manchuria.

why_did_the_communists_win_the_civil_war.pptx
- 1. Why did the Communists win the Civil War 1945-1949? L/O – To identify the reasons why the CCP won the 2nd Civil War.
- 2. China in 1945 • When war ended in Aug 1945, the CCP controlled most of the countryside & the KMT was stuck in Sichuan province. • The war ended too soon for Chiang. He was hoping that the USA would send armies to China to defeat the Japanese AND communists. • The CCP was already accepting the surrender of the Japanese in many areas and taking over. ‘The CCP had effectively won the civil war by 1945.’ Do you agree? Explain your opinions in details. Think back to last lesson
- 4. China in 1945 • The Allies decided that Chiang should be reinstated as ruler of China. Even Stalin agreed to this. • US Dakota planes rushed 110,000 KMT troops to the cities and bases in the north to accept the surrender of Japanese troops & equipment before the Communists could do so. • In response the Communists moved into Manchuria and captured many ex-Japanese weapons. Why do you think Stalin agreed to reinstate Chiang rather than Mao as leader of China?
- 5. Ceasefire? • In Dec 1945, the USA sent General Marshall to try to prevent a civil war in China. He failed and war broke out in early 1946. • The Communists had 1.2m members, 900,000 soldiers, 19 base areas, 90m population but lacked heavy military equipment and only 600 artillery pieces. • KMT had 2.7m soldiers, 39 newly trained divisions, x10 artillery and large air force. Was there any realistic prospect of peace cooperation between the CCP & KMT after the end of WW2?
- 6. 1.) Early Setbacks, July 1946-May 1947 • The KMT immediately took the initiative by launching an offensive which captured most of the cities of Manchuria except for Harbin in the far north. • The CCP even lost their base at Yan’an. KMT numbers, resources and air power helped dramatically. Chiang committed ½ million of his best troops to capture Manchuria. • A renewed offensive by the KMT in Oct 1946 failed to break through PLA defences.
- 8. 1.) Early Setbacks, July 1946-May 1947 • After October 1946, the PLA led by Lin Biao, began to adopt an effective guerrilla warfare strategy against the KMT. • From rural bases, the PLA ambushed KMT units, forcing them to remain in the cities. • Railway lines were then blown up to cut the cities off from supplies and reinforcements.
- 10. 2.) Seizing the Initiative, May 1947-Nov 1948 • During this period, the PLA moved from a strategy of guerrilla warfare to one of conventional battles with massed forces of infantry and artillery. • In June 1948, the PLA captured the Yellow River valley, Shandong Province and in October, Manchuria finally fell. • Chiang had lost over ½ million of his best troops and was now on the defensive. Why was it important to move from guerrilla warfare to conventional warfare?
- 12. 3. The Final Stages, Dec 1948-Oct 1949 • Moving quickly to capitalise on successes, the PLA launched an offensive against the vital railway junction of Xuzhou. • The battle lasted 65 days with 600,000 on each side. Xuzhou was captured in Jan 1949 along with Beijing and Tianjin by Lin Biao in the same month. • By Feb 1949, the whole of northern China was controlled by the Communists.
- 14. 3. The Final Stages, Dec 1948-Oct 1949 • After a rest, in April 1949, the PLA attacked key cities on the Yangtzi River, capturing Nanjing on 23rd April and Shanghai in late May. • Wuhan was captured in May and the way to the south was now open. The army then divided: • Xi’an & Lanzhou captured in August. • Guangzhou captured in October. • Chongqing captured in November.
- 16. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) • By late Sep 1949, most of China was under Communist control. • Mao called a conference in Beijing. 14 political parties were represented and the conference elected members of the new central government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). • On 1st Oct 1949, Mao proclaimed the founding of the PRC and he was elected Chairman. • Chiang Kai-Shek fled to the island of Taiwan and established a KMT government.
