Best Answer

Communis is more prevalent in Asia because of the influence of the Soviet Union and imperialism. Most of Africa was colonized by democratic empires such as Britain, France and Belgium. Therefore, the sphere of influence in Africa was under democratic eyes. Yet in Asia, the Soviets helped foster communist movements against Imperial powers. In Vietnam, the Soviets funded Ho Chi Minh's fight for independence against the French. China turned communist under Mao Zedong in 1949 because of Zedong's appeal to the peasant class to turn against Western ideas and imperialism. Also, the Soviets supported North Korea's takeover of the South to spread communism. the mere fact that the Western Empires avoided Asia and feared interfering with the super power soviets fostered a spread of communism and independence
