China: Communism Invades

• Before the end of World War II the Chinese nationalist government had began to start failing and the communist party began to go on the rise.

• Americans had recognized that this government was going to be corrupt because the policies of the government did not favor national support.

• The communists lead by Mao Zedong began to gain more followers throughout the country through the promise of an increase in food production and increased education.

• This dispute eventually leads to a chinese civil war to decide their type of government.
