Who led communist takeover of China in 1949?

The leader of the communist takeover of China was Chairman Mao. His full name was at one time generally spelled Mao Tse Tung, as an English transliteration of the original Chinese, but in recent years the alternative spelling Mao Tse Dong has been more favored. I personally just call him Chairman Mao to avoid the issue of how his last name is really spelled.

Why is japan called as the rising sun?

They picked a rising sun for the flag because Japan is the easternmost country in the world, and the sun rises in the east. The exact origin of the flag "Hinomaru" is unknown. However, historically, the sun has had a religious connotation in Japan, and the rising sun has had an important symbolic meaning. For example, in 607, Prince Shotoku sent a letter that began with "from the emperor of the rising sun" to Emperor Yang of Sui. One legend related to the national flag is attributed to Buddhist priest Nichiren. During a Mongolian invasion into Japan during the 13th century, Nichiren gave a sun banner to the shogun to carry into battle. One of Japan's oldest known flags is housed at the Unpo-ji temple in Yamanashi Prefecture. A legend states that the flag was given by Emperor Reizei to Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, and was treated as the family treasure by the Takeda clan. However, the historical accuracy of this account is questionable. The earliest recorded flags in Japan date from the unification period. The flags belonged to each Daimyo, and were used mostly in battle. Most of the flags were long banners, and were usually charged with the mon of the Daimyo. Members of the same family, such as a son, father and a brother, had different flags to carry to battle. The flags served for identification, and were displayed by soldiers on their backs and also on their horses. Generals also had their own flags, but most of these were square in shape. The Hinomaru was the legal national flag from 1870 until 1885. After the Meiji Restoration, the Hinomaru was the de facto national flag with no law in place.

Why was communist China so successful?

Communism has never existed in the People's Republic of China.

The official economic model utilized in China is the "Socialist market economy" or "Socialism with Chinese characteristics", which is actually just a state capitalist economy based on state-owned enterprises and free-markets.

The government of China is run by the Communist Party, but that says nothing about the actual system over which the government presides over. Many high-ranking Communist party members are actually wealthy capitalists.

What did Victorian Poor Men Wear?

The poor of the Victorian age, just as the modern poor do, wore what clothes they could get. Second-hand clothing shops (the ancestor to our thrift stores) were useful, of course, although the unpredictable nature of the sizes and types of clothing available meant the very poor were easy to pick out by their mismatched outfits.

The poor men of England, according to the Dictionary of Victorian London, generally wore their work clothes: Trousers of either moleskin or corduroy (both cotton fabrics), a clean shirt (checked or white), a black coat and waistcoat (black doesn't show stains as much; if you're American, a waistcoat is what we call a vest) and perhaps a bit of color in a scarf or muffler wound about the throat.

Of course, the very poor would have to keep the clothes they had for a very long time, and this would be visible in the aging and wear of the fabric; likewise, if they couldn't afford a warm coat (or had sold it to make the rent), they'd stuff cloth or paper into their clothes for warmth, just as the very poor still do today.

In terms of style, of course, the poor tended to be a bit behind, though typically not by much; peg-top trousers (with a tapered leg) were in fashion from the 1850s on, so used pairs were easy enough to find. Likewise, suspenders were in use (to keep the pants up, to cite the old joke) for a very long time, so pants with suspender buttons were also an easy find. (Suspenders were typically made of boxcloth, a type of wool felt.)

Who developed communism?

As the Industrial Revolution advanced, socialist critics blamed capitalism for the misery of the proletariat - a new class of urban factory workers who labored under often-hazardous conditions. Foremost among these critics were the German philosopher Karl Marx and his associate Friedrich Engels. In 1848, Marx and Engels offered a new definition of communism and popularized the term in their famous pamphlet The Communist Manifesto.[25] Engels, who lived in Manchester, observed the organization of the Chartist movement (see History of British socialism), while Marx departed from his university comrades to meet the proletariat in France and Germany
