As the leader of the communist party during the Chinese civil war, Mao became leader of the new People’s Republic of China in 1949.

His goals were: More equality for women

More Land for the peasants Make China a superpower

In his first 3 years He first killed over 3 million of his political opponents

In order to make China an economic power, Mao created the program the “Great Leap Forward,”

How the program worked:Collectivize Agriculture (Make all

farms government propertyAssign farming to small communes

(communities)Focus on steel production

Agricultural production declined during the “Great” leap, which led to massive famine and starvation

Mao blamed the famine on sparrows and ignored the suffering. This led to the death of more than 30 million people

In order to gain more popularity Mao started the “Cultural Revolution” by convincing the youth to blame the problems on the Chinese bourgeoisie (teachers, intellectuals opponents of Mao).

He converted them into “red guards” who were allowed to send enemies to labor camps or be killed More than 3 million

Although women gained more rights, the suffering led many to still question Mao

Following the rise of communism in China, the U.S government adopted the policy of containment: limit (contain) the spread of communism throughout Asia

Following WWII the U.S and Soviet Union divided Korea at the 38th parallel (38° latitude) North communist led by Kim Il-Sung and South = democratic

In 1950 Kim Il-Sung invaded the south in order to unify Korean people under one communist government. With the support of the Soviets and Communist China

In order to protect S.Korea, the U.S invaded and pushed Il-Sung’s forces back to the 38th parallel

After 3 years of fighting, The war ended in stalemate (tie) and remained divided (North: communist, South: democratic- War killed over 3 million civilians

In the late 1940’s, Communist leader Ho Chi Minh, inspired by the Dec. of Independence, declared independence from the French

The French invaded to stop the “rebels” however lost. The U.S and W. Europe organized a peace treaty which divided Vietnam at the 17°th parallel North= Communist and south “democratic”

In 1960 South Vietnam held elections and Ho Chi Minh won the majority, however the U.S ignored the results.

This led to a massive revolt and civil war. The North was supported by the Soviets/Chinese and South supported by U.S troops

The war became a war of attrition (tie) which killed over 3 millions people and 58,000 U.S troops.

It ended in 1973 with the U.S removal of troops and a divided Vietnam
