Mao Tse Tung

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!

When Mao came to power he destroyed all old Chinese culture, and created new art and music as propaganda. He also caused some of the biggest famines in recorded history by spending all of China's money on nukes from the Soviet Union. He ruled through a web of propaganda, and set up his wife in such a way that all blame would fall to her if he lost power. He left a huge legacy and is still thought of as a great leader in China today. Though he caused the most deaths ever during peacetime, he also brought unity and equality to China.

No

There is no answer.

The Nationalists (now Republic of China in Taiwan) and the Communists were literally forced to be allies; Mao Zedong advocated all out gorilla warfare against the Japanese, he was however deep in his stronghold with most of his reserved troops and planned to have the Nationalists do all the fighting. After the war civil war resumed, Mao didn't really win the "peasant's mandate"; simply the Nationalists were greatly diminished because of the war (because they did all the fighting) and could no longer fight. Mao took advantage of that and took China for himself.

Chairman Mao took over main land China during it's communist revolution in 1949. Nationalist China had to move onto the big island of Taiwan, called Formosa when it belonged to Japan.

The US responded with alarm, and supported the anti-communist Kuo Min Tang on the island of Taiwan, whose independence from mainland China is even now supported by the US, although the Cold War has ended.

Chiang Kai-Shek / Sek

Died in the 1970's in Taiwan

The US owes China $14 Trillion, it's rising at $22,000 a second. China wouldn't be a powerhouse today if it werent for Maoism.

Mao Tse Tung

Being a leader of China. Or rather a strict leader of China.

The long march was 9600 km long and took 370 days.

After Mao Zedong died in 1976 Deng Xiaoping led the communists and wanted to make China an open country
