The Chinese Communist revolution began with small acts of guerrila warfare shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917 However, in the 1930's the Communists were outnumbered 60 to one by the nationalists, and it was still very much a small resistance force. Most peoples' lives were not affected by the Civil War at that time. In 1931 the Japanese invaded, and the Communists allied temporarily with the Nationalists to combat the Japanese, although sporadic fighting between the groups continued. But in 1945, the Chinese Civil War (or Communist Revolution) began in earnest, complete with field armies, pitched battles, and stormed cities. The last Nationalist troops left the mainland in retreat for Taiwan in 1949, though they are still at war in name to this day. According to Mao Zedong the revolution will continue until Taiwan is part of China and both are pure Communist societies, but in practice any "revolutionary action" (such as the Great Preletarian Cultural Revolution of the '60s) ceased with Mao's death in 1976.

The Chinese Nationalist lost to communist forces in 1949 because when war broke out in 1937 the newly created Communist Party found their opportune moment to win the favour of the demoralized and dissatisfied Chinese population.
After the 1911 Revolution, and the death of Sun Yat-sen's people stopped all their revoluntionary activity. China was also having internal unrest, warlords divided china hoping to be the next ruler. Which resulted in another revoluntion, where Mao Zedong comes along and China becomes communist.
