Mao's China - IB

1/1

Origins and Rise of Mao

China Pre-20th Century (Pre-1900s)

following "Opium Wars" in 1840s, 1850s and late 1800s, China experienced great humiliation and dissatisfaction
more powerful foreign countries had large spheres of influence in China, with impact on trade --> provoked Boxer Revolution of 1898
in the early 1900s, heavy taxation and corrupt government officials also created dissatisfaction amongst peasants and workers, who suffered greatly
suffering incited revolution in 1911, which the entirety of China was swept under
as a result, the Chinese republic (NOT the PRC) was formed, with Sun Yat Sen as leader of National Assembly

After Formation of Chinese Republic (1912) (NOT the PRC)

Sun Yat Sen turned out to be a terrible leader
many warlords in China ignored his policies and formed their own small groups that controlled small areas of China
GMD was formed in January 1912
Jiang Jieshi became leader of the GMD in 1925, though he hated communism --> turned his own army on communist supporters, many killed
Jiang Jieshi was able to seize Beijing, setting up a stable government and currency, however Japan still had Manchuria

Instances of Humiliation for China during this time

Opium Wars in late 1800s with Japan
signing of Versailles Treaty in 1919, where German concessions in China were handed over to Japan
