China (1946-1960) By Rachel Peters-Brown Meaira Cartman
Thesis • Between 1945-1949 China to a certain extent was considered an independent country, but struggled within their own limitations and boundaries of ruling. Leaders Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong both struggled in creating two regimes that professed and split China in two, making China less unified in which they remained self-communist.
Success • Under the leadership of Mao Zedong, CCP was successful. • After 1949, the Chinese economy remained one of the greatest challenges for the Communist. • The spread and influence of Mao Zedong teachings of Communist, reign supreme in the indulgence over the Nationalist Party. • In 1950, Mao took over the People’s Republic of China, destroying the U.S geographically
China After WWII/ Cold War • China is a communist country led by Mao Zedong • Nationalist led by Chiang Kai-shek retaliated against the government • Civil War (1946-1949) • Because China was split between Nationalist and Communist, they received aid from both Super powers (USA and USSR)
Government and Economy • Mao Zedong was in charge of China, so the country remained Communist • China was funded by the USSR, because they were allies • China followed many of the same policies as Stalin • Implemented a 5 year plan to speed productivity (1956) • Great Leap Forward (1958)
