Mao Tse Tung

Mao's focus on rural steel production led to widespread famine and starvation.

Mao became a warlord in China, and later became the leader of Red China.

Mausoleum of Mao Zedong was created in 1977.

Yes, hes was. However he didn't play a very important role as he was a soldier in a local regiment in the Hunan province, who were on the same side as the revolutionarys but not revolutionarys themselves.

Mao Zedong was born in 1893 and died in 1976(Palmer 540). When his name is translated, it means "To shine on the East"("Mao Tse-Tung Killer File"). He was the first Communist Leader of China(Axelrod, "Mao Zedong"). He helped with the finding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921(Axelrod, "Mao Zedong"). He was also the founder of the People's Republic of China in 1949 along with Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin(Axelrod, "Mao Zedong"). Zedong is well known with names such as Stalin and Hitler, but is said to be responsible for more deaths than either of them

Jiang Qing was Mao Zedong's last wife, but she didn't kill him. She killed herself on May 14, 1991 in Beijing, China. Mao Zedong died from complications related to Parkinson's disease and other health problems.

Yes, he meant to kill all those people. Maybe not at the start because he wanted to just industrialize China. But I doubt he cared after 15 million people died. Mao Zedong is worse than Hitler.

*I have to disagree with the above.*

More people died in China because far more people lived there.

Mao wanted to rapidly industrialize the nation, so he sent many farmers to do industrial work. Because of that, not enough food was being produced. This, in combination with bad weather conditions (floods and extreme drought) caused severe famine.

In 1959, the Yellow River flooded, which directly killed, either through starvation from crop failure or drowning, an estimated 2 million people. While other areas were affected in other ways as well. (Wikipedia)

Although many millions died, only a small percentage died from violence, the vast majority simply starved to death.

His policies failed. For instance, he launched the 'Four Pests Campaign'.

One of the pests that was to be exterminated, because they ate some of the grains, was the Eurasian Tree Sparrow. Before the leadership realised it, it caused great ecological inbalance, locust populations exploded, and swarmed the country. Making the situation even worse, instead of better.

I'm not saying he was a good person, he very much wanted to be in power, and anyone who disagreed with him would be prosecuted. He was a fool, and many people died because of that. However, to say he was worse than Hitler (or Stalin for that matter), is insane.

Hope this helped.

Reforming and openness.

His Cultural Revolution brought social chaos to the country and destroyed Chinese traditions.

In 1934, in an epic retreat known as the Long March, Mao and about 100,000 of his followers fled the Guomindang. During the next year, they trekked more than 6,000 miles, facing daily attacks as they crossed rugged mountains, deep gorges, and mighty rivers. Only about 20,000 people survived the ordeal. For decades, the Long March stood as a symbol of Communist heroism to Chinese opposed to Guomindang.

There was no Chinese leader named Zhou Zedong. This could possibly be referring to Mao Zedong, founder of Chinese communism, and Zhou Enlai, another prominent 20th Century Chinese leader and contemporary of Mao.

to gather all of the peasants. Mao predicted that if they farmed together they would get more rice than an individual

Also, to increase the efficiency of agriculture.

permanent revolution is the state or condition, envisaged by Leon Trotsky, of a country's continuing revolutionary progress being dependent on a continuing process of revolution in other countries. Mao wanted a permanent revolution because In Mao's eyes, only permanent revolution, an atmosphere of constant revolutionary fervor, could enable the Chinese to overcome the past and achieve the final stage of communism

Based on the most credible estimates, atrocities attributed to Mao follow as such:

Purged: 2 Million dead
Great Leap Forward: 31-33 Million dead
Cultural Revolution: 1 Million
Ethnic Cleansing (Tibetans): 750,000-900,000 dead
Labor Camps: 20 Million

54.75 to 56.9 Million

Maoism was really a form of Stalinism, with the same pervasive institutionalized paranoia and cult of personality; bear in mind that Mao came to power only with the help of his close ally Stalin. The type of society that Mao was determined to build was one that was obsessed with himself. It was a narcissistic vision.

Mao believed that the only way of becoming a better community was to work harder. Therefore, his actions to the middle class were no different from the ones to the upper class. I am not sure how hetreatedthe peasants.
