Answer 2

Answer:While revolution in China began with reaction to imperialism and was influenced by Western

ideas, in the end, it was the internal pressures and the lack of reforms by the Kuomintang

regime that are the most important reasons for the 1949 revolution, bringing the

Communists to power. The Kuomintang regime failed to adequately deal with the condition

of the peasant masses and with the conditions of the urban classes. In Origins of the

Chinese Revolution, 1915-1949 Lucien Bianco writes, “Discontent and the bankruptcy of

rural society created an inexhaustible supply of potential revolutionaries, but it was the

Chinese Communist Party that gave this blind force purpose and direction.” Almost nothing

was done to satisfy the peasants’ most basic needs. No steps were taken to protect them

against excesses and the violence on the part of the military. Nothing was done to reform

and expand the system of agriculture, or to reduce the despair caused by land tax and land

rent. It was this failure to deal with the China’s rural social conflict that contributed the

most to the Chinese Revolution.
