Question

Why did support from people in the Chinese countryside help the Communists more than support from people in the cities helped the Nationalists?
Many more people lived in the countryside, so they made the Communists the stronger side.
People in the cities were confident that the Nationalists would win, so they remained passive.
In the cities, people had mixed feelings about which side to support, so they did not present a united front.
In the countryside, people were accustomed to nearly constant warfare and so were well prepared.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Many more people lived in the countryside, so they made the Communists the stronger side.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Many more people lived in the countryside, so they made the Communists the stronger side.

The support from people in the Chinese countryside helped the Communists more than support from people in the cities helped the Nationalists because many more people lived in the countryside, so they made the Communists the stronger side.

The Nationalist Party was more popular in the cities of China because the wealthy people that supported the Nationalist lived there. But other people had mixed feelings. Some Chineses supported the Communist Party although they lived in the cities. So, people in the cities did not present a united front to favor the Nationalist. The people from the countryside of China were the ones who helped the Communist. They were people that lived in poor conditions and saw a chance of a better life with the Communist Party of Mao Zedong.
