How did Mao win the Chinese Civil War?

kogti [31]

From 1911 to 1945, China experienced a revolution, a

struggle against warlords, a civil war between the

Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-Shek and the

Communists led by Mao Zedong, and invasion by the

Japanese. After the defeat of the Japanese in World

War II in 1945, a full-blown civil war erupted again in

1946. The Nationalists were backed by the United

States and the Communists had support from the

Soviet Union. By 1949, Chiang and the Nationalists,

despite having more soldiers than the Communists,

were defeated and forced to evacuate the Chinese

mainland for the island of Taiwan.

Historians point to a number of factors for the

nationalists defeat.

Chiang’s Kuomintang government was filled with

incompetent and corrupt officials. The people especially hated the tax collectors, who

were commonly called “blood-sucking devils.” Chiang himself held dictatorial powers,

but his orders were often ignored. He had little success in rallying Chinese nationalism

to win an unpopular war against the Communists.

Chiang’s decision to go to war against the Communists in 1946 came at the cost of

postponing the economic reconstruction of China. This meant diverting tax revenues,

investment, and other resources to the war effort rather than to the needs of the people.

Heavy taxes, a huge government debt, inflation, unemployment, and food shortages

caused many, especially in the cities, to lose faith in the Nationalist government.

What was one of the main reasons for an increased demand for farm goods in the u.s. by 1830?

mario62 [17]

The coastal plain in the South contained large areas of fertile soil.

The Antebellum Period in American history is generally considered to be the period before the civil war and after the War of 1812, although some historians expand it to all the years from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War. It was characterized by the rise of abolition and the gradual polarization of the country between abolitionists and supporters of slavery. During this same time, the country’s economy began shifting in the north to manufacturing as the Industrial Revolution began, while in the south, a cotton boom made plantations the center of the economy. The annexation of new territory and western expansion saw the reinforcement of American individualism and of Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans and the institutions of the U.S. are morally superior and Americans are morally obligated to spread these institutions.
