Mao Zedong's victory over Jiang Jieshi during the Chinese Civil War was primarily due to his effective mobilization of the peasantry and the Communist Party's appeal to the rural population, which made up the vast majority of China's demographic. The Communists employed guerrilla warfare tactics, which were more suited to the conditions of the Chinese countryside, while Jiang's Nationalist forces suffered from corruption, loss of popular support, and military setbacks. Additionally, the Communist Party benefited from the Soviet Union's support, which provided crucial resources and strategic guidance. Ultimately, Mao's ability to adapt to the needs and aspirations of the populace played a significant role in his triumph.
The two main groups were the Chinese communists, led by Mao Tse Dung, and the Nationalists, led by Chiang Kai Shek. The nationalists were the group recognized by the west as the "legitimate" government of China, and the group which had been allied against Japan and Germany during WWII. They were the successors to the Kuomintang nationalist movement from earlier in the century. But the nationalists never really controlled all of China and in truth Chiang was ony the largest and most successful of a number of different "warlords". There is a "dynastic cycle" in the long history of China, and whenever the central government grows weak its authority ceases to reach all far flung corners of the land, and warlords spring up to challenge for control of those areas. Eventually one of these warlords becomes powerful enough to displace the old dynasty, and establish a new dynasty. This is essentially what happened in 1949 when the communists won the civil war, and became the strongest government since the decline of the last Imperial dynasty forty years earlier.
