Question

Why did mao Zedong join the war​

Answer 1

I just had a paper on this. here is a quote that is pretty useful

Mao believed that in focusing on the anti-imperialist struggle, the Communists would earn the trust of the Chinese people, who in turn would renounce the KMT. From Zunyi, Mao led his troops to Loushan Pass, where they faced armed opposition but successfully crossed the river.
