The reason why the CCP won the battle for China by the end of 1949 and Mao Zedong emerged as the leader of the new Peoples Republic of China

Social Division:

In terms of social division, historian Margot Morcombe claimed that the revolution of 1911 achieved little. The Manchu was overthrown, but the society and economy remained relatively unchanged, and the political power was once again in the hands of warlords and corrupt officials. The consequences of the 21 demands and the Treaty of Versailles triggered the most important and significant nationalist movement. In 1919, Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Lu Xun, Cai Yuanpei, etc. published a new youth newspaper in Shanghai and Beijing, calling for thorough reform. They hoped that young people would be independent, progressive and scientific, break the conservative Confucian tradition, and began to promote all kinds of new western ideas. These ideas influenced and consequence young Mao Zedong and others and contributed to the establishment of the CCP in 1921. As Rhoads Murphy: claims China in 1921 was a disunified nation a boat full of holes and lack of direction However, solutions to problems were being offered. Mao is left-wing. His idea is that everyone has the same outcome and believes that the public needs to work together to achieve high efficiency. At the same time, causation of 80% of China was farmers and most of them were not workers, Mao Zedong began his idea. Based on the "sinicized" version of Marxism, Mao Zedong believed that the farmers could overthrow feudalism and establish a socialist society. During the Long March, such as the Zunyi Conference and after arriving in Yan'an, Mao also attracted more farmers and intellectuals who wanted China to change to join the CCP, such as March - Jonathan Fenby claims a central element in the Chinese Communist story, proof of that movement contained a special strength and an unquestionable visionary leader in Mao Jiang, the leader of GMD, is determined to promote the new life movement. His goal is to improve the morale of China, such as changing corruption, restoring some Confucian habits, controlling opium and so on. However, the final failure of the new life movement was also due to GMD's factors, such as opium traders and gangs, which were one of GMD's most important economic sources. Consequnce GMD could not give up this income, so the KMT's economic sources led to their path must be biased toward capitalism, ignoring 80% of China's farmers. Historian Michael Lynch claims that GMD's failure far exceeds these achievements, and the Kuomintang government has proved unable to solve China's most urgent social and economic problems. It has violated its moral goals and aligned with some of the worst elements of China's underworld. To consolidate its power, it turned to high pressure and authoritarianism. At the same time, it also violates its original idea of changing China, which also paves the way for its failure. CCP in Yan'an Soviet Area enabled the Communist Party of China to "liberate" large rural areas, attract farmers and expand its influence. Therefore, CCP also received more Chinese support, laying the groundwork for the victory in 1949.

Impact of War:

In terms of the impact of war, Mao claimed that it was precisely because the Japanese imperial army occupied more than half of China that we established many anti-Japanese base areas and created conditions for victory in the civil war in the future. Japanese monopoly capital and warlords have done us a 'good thing'. Chiang Kai Shek, the leader of the Kuomintang, believed that the invasion of foreign troops such as Japan was a skin problem and the CCP was heart disease. Therefore, he has been attacking the Soviet Area of the CCP since 1928. Although the first four times did not succeed, in the fifth attack in 1934, GMD cut off the food supply line, which also led to the Soviet areas such as Jiangxi choosing to flee and began the long march. The Long March also made Mao the real leader of the CCP. At the same time, the actual scale of the long march gives it political significance. Mao defined it as a declaration that the Red Army is a heroic army to the world. It declared the failure of the encirclement of imperialism and the Communist Party of China. And the support of CCP in China has been improved. Mao, historian Jon Halliday commented that Mao was still very unpopular and not even a member of the Secretariat. However, at the Zunyi Conference on the long march in 1935, Mao Zedong determined the guerrilla warfare needed by the Red Army and excluded Zhang Guotao, Mao's main competitor. Historian Jonathan Fenby supported a central element in the Chinese communication story, proof that the movement contained a special strength and an unquestionable visionary leader in Mao After the arrival of the Red Army in Yan'an and a series of propaganda activities during the Anti-Japanese War, the majority of farmers joined the Red Army for reasons, which also laid the foundation for the last 5 million Red Army in 1945.

Conclusion：

There are many reasons why the Communist Party of China won the "battle" for China at the end of 1949 and Mao Zedong became the leader of the new people's Republic. In terms of economy, GMD did make effort to solve some of CHN's problems, with some success but many failures Nanjing government's economy mainly depends on Shanghai consortia and foreign debt, so it can't pay full attention to China's peasant class. Therefore, CCP's nationalization economic policy is more accepted by the majority of Chinese people. At the same time, in terms of social division, after the collision of different ideas, Mao Zedong and CCP's national capital have been verified in China, and because 80% of the residents in China are farmers, CCP's national capital has won public support. In terms of the impact of the war, Japan's invasion made the Communist Party reduce a lot of military pressure from GMD, and CCP expanded its influence in China through the Long March so that Mao and CCP's ideas entered the public and gained support.
