180. Lenin only wanted the Nationalists and Communists to cooperate for a little while. “ get rid of the warlords” Then he was going to eliminate the Nationalists. “ Workers of the world unite.” Communism is international.
181. Look at where the Communists and Nationalists had power.
188. Communists are out of the way. Nationalists (Kuomintang) have control of China. Jiang Jieshi becomes president of the Republic of China. Western powers such as US and Britain formally recognize.
193. Land Land was taken away from landowners and given to peasants. This is called Land Reform.
194. Journal Entry Why do you think this Land Reform would get the Communist Party the support it needed?
195.
196. The Long March What was it? A 6000 mile journey taken by Communists escaping the Nationalist army from 1934-1936. Why was it significant? Along the way, the Communists shared their ideas and gave hope to desperate peasants. This is how the Communists gained popular support.
197. The Cold War 1949-1990 The Soviet Union wanted the world to be communist. The United States wanted the world to be capitalist. These nations did not fight each other directly. Instead, they tried to influence other natons.
198. The Cold War How do you think the Cold War affected the Chinese civil war?
199. The Cold War The Soviet Union supported the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The United States supported the Nationalist party (KMT).
200. The Nationalists had the advantage. Nationalists outnumbered the communist Red Army 3 to 1. The United States gave money to the Nationalists: nearly $2 billion. The Communists were on the run, retreating across 6000 miles of territory.
201. But China today is Communist. What happened to the Nationalists?
202. The Nationalists lost the people… and therefore, the war. The Nationalists let us down, but Mao gave us ________ and Mao gave us ________.
207. This is about how Taiwan compares to California in size.

209. Nationalize businesses! Private businesses were gradually taken over by the government. The Chinese Communist Party then made all decisions for each business. All control is from the government. All profit is for the government.
210. Increase industry! 1953, Mao launched a five-year plan that set high production goals for industry. China boosted its output of coal, cement, steel, machines and electricity. Thousands of new industrial projects were created.
211. Now let’s talk about changing the farms. How can we make them more productive?
212. Collectivize farms! 1950 Mao continued land reform. 1952 Mao wanted to increase productivity everywhere, including the farms.
213. Remember this? Stalin collectivized farms for greater productivity. So did Mao Zedong.
214. 1952 Chinese farmers were told to share their animals, equipment and labor with other farmers. Sounds good. We like to share.
215.
216.
217. 1930’s Chinese farmers often owned no land. They lived and worked for a landlord. Life was hard.
218. 1940’s Farmers own an equal share of land. Mao Zedong said it was unfair for someone to have lots of land, when other people had none. He split up each piece of land so everyone owned about 1/2 acre of land. They could farm it however they liked.
219. 1952 Farmers share equipment. Mao Zedong wanted more agricultural productivity. Each farmer now had to share his tools, equipment and labor with 10 other farmers nearby. This was a Mutual Aid Team. It worked really well. Productivity increased.
220. 1953 Farmers share everything. If small teams work well, don’t you think big teams would work better? Agricultural Producer Cooperatives More farms are joined together. Farmers still have some differences in income based on land and equipment.
226. Journal entry The commune system did not provide the increased productivity that Mao Zedong anticipated. A few farmers cooperating together increased production, but thousands of farmers together did not. Why do you think this happened?
