Mao Tse Tung

it is said that chairman Mao was responsible for the deaths of 40 million to 70 million people

Communism in general is very revolutionary, but as to Lenin, he was revolutionary because he changed a capitalist society to a communist one and began the Soviet Union which would become a great success until Stalin.

consolidate his power

Right to have big properties and right to believe a religion.

in 1934 Mao was re-elected chairman, however in July Mao briefly lost power due to the failure of the 5th encirclement campaign by the Nationalists and was arrested and detained. Li De, Wang Ming, and Bo Gu cane to power. After the Long March began in October 1934, there was an emergency meeting held by the CCP. This was the Zunyi conference. Here Mao successfully exposed the urban reds as being out of touch with the CCP's real needs and Mao became the leader of the CCP again.

The genicide of Mao Zedong was the thousands of people he ordered to death during his revolution. Mao Zedong killed more people than Hilter and Stalin's deaths combined.

Well it is clear that Mao's first influence's were the political beliefs of his parents.. thats it

Mao and his Red Army burned books (censorship), punished those who did not dress in the correct way, used propaganda, and influenced his people by supporting his Red Book (books filled with works selected by Mao).

Chairman Mao Died In His Home On His Bed From A Deadly Illness And Old Age!

By being a coward basically. We waited in west china while the ROC went to war with japan. Then when ww2 was over he attacked while they were at there weakest.

Peasants supported Mao Zedong because they had nothing and had nothing to lose, and he promised I them everything

Mao had a family, but the secret lives of leaders of such a high level will always be a mystery.

Mao Zedong may have been raised in the Buddhist tradition, but he rejected all forms of religion for the atheistic socialism of Marxism-Leninism, which sees organised religion as the 'opiate of the masses'. Mao Zedong's own thoughts, while rooted in dialectical materialism, also contain elements of Confucianism and Taoism.

People's Republic of China

Mao was a communist.

He thought that it was a way of thinking that opposed private property and supported common ownership.

The Great Leap Forward was Mao Zedong's vision to move China from agriculture to industry.

china experienced a severe famine that caused millions of deaths.

I don't think so. he's just the leader of the communist party. I agree with the above. Mao fought against Chiang Kai Shek for power in post WW2 China. Chiang fled to the island of Formosa, which became Taiwan & is now called Taipei. Mao became all powerful in Peking, now Beijing, and was supported by the Russians. When Mao died he was succeded by his wife, Jaing Qing, one of the so called gang of four, who were in turn overthrown by Deng Xioping.

They did not trust western influences.

In the year of 1976.

Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893 - September 9, 1976), also transliterated as Mao Tse-Tung (in the now less commonly-used Wade-Giles transliteration), was a Chinese Marxist theorist, soldier, and statesman who led China's communist revolution following decades of civil war.

Until his death, Mao retained his unquestionable place in the Politburo of the Communist Party of China since 1943 and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China since 1945.

As a prominent leader and a veteran having fought many battles, Mao, during the Chinese Civil War, led the Communist Party of China (CPC) to a series of victories that drove the Kuomintang (KMT) and its troops to the island of Taiwan.

On October 1, 1949, at Tiananmen Square, Beijing, Mao announced the establishment of the People's Republic of China. From the 1950s onward, Mao pursued his ideals for a strong and prosperous China, endeavoring to rebuild a new functional government and relieve the poverty of the peasants that made up the majority of population in China. However, it has been argued that movements such as the Anti-Rightist Campaign, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution greatly hamstrung China's development, leading to economic hardship, social turmoil and starvation. Although the exact figure is disputed, it is widely believed tens of millions died as a result of such policies.

After Mao had seized power over mainland China in 1949, a personality cult was developed to deify Mao as, for example, the Grand Helmsman and Saviour of China, which increased his domination of the Communist Party of China and the government.

Yes Mao was a great leader. He was really great!
