The Communist Revolution
The Communist Revolution, which unfolded in several phases culminating with the victory of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, profoundly transformed China. Under the leadership of Mao Zedong, this revolution overthrew the Kuomintang government, ending decades of internal conflict and foreign interference, and established the People's Republic of China. This period was marked by radical reforms in agriculture, industry, and society, aimed at eliminating inequalities and modernizing China. The establishment of the PRC changed the global political landscape, positioning China as a major player on the international stage in the following decades.
