China's Fall To Communism
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the rise of China's Communist party under the leadership of Mao Zedong, with emphasis on the Long March. In many ways it appears that China's Communist party was victorious almost more as a result of Chaing Kai-Shek's weak leadership than because of their own superior abilities. Without his unnatural obsession for eradicating Communists rather than foreign invaders, the observed history of China likely would be far different. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
