Mao Zedong gained control of mainland China in 1949 by leading the Communist Party of China (CPC) to victory in the Chinese Civil War against the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang), led by Chiang Kai-shek. The CPC capitalized on widespread discontent with the Nationalist government, which was seen as corrupt and ineffective, particularly after World War II. Mao's forces employed effective guerrilla tactics, garnered peasant support through land reform promises, and took advantage of the Nationalists' weakening position. By late 1949, the Nationalists retreated to Taiwan, solidifying Mao's control over the mainland.
