Mao Zedong came to power in China in 1949 after a bloody civil war between himself, leader of the Communist Party, and Chiang Kai-Shek, leader of the real Chinese government (the Nationalists).
During WWII, Chiang Kai-Shek was preoccupied with Japanse agression and the Communist under Mao Zedong started to build up their strengh in north China. They did this by carrying out a "mass line" policy (from the masses to the masses), cutting land rents, and spreading out the lands of the wealthy landlords to peasants.
As WWII started to end, the world started to see that the Communist in China were actually making some changes in China... for the BETTER and perhaps war would not break out if the USA stayed neutral. However, the inevitable did happen and by 1946 full scale war between the Nationalists and the Communists was happening. Peasants ran towards Zedong and the PLA (People's Liberation Army) for promised land and social justice while the middle class, shunned by Chiang Kai-Shek because of his governments' inability to stop economic inflation, did so too.
In react to the war in China, President Truman sent General George C. Marshall (yes, the creator of the Marshall Plan) to China in hope to stop the Communist and reinstate the Nationalists.
The Communist won.
