Mao Tse Tung

Mao Tse-tung led the Communist Party to power in China, and within the twenty-seven years after control of the leadership, remarkable changes occurred long term, in the history of a nation so large in number.
Mao Tse-Tung was born in 1893 in the village of Shao-shan in Hunan province, China. His father was a little farmer. In the year 1911, when Mao was still a student age of nineteen years, the revolution broke out which ravaged the Ch'ing dynasty was already decaying and jerk, but this dynasty ruled China since the 17th century. Within a few months the emperor was dispelled and overturned, and China was proclaimed as a republic. Unfortunately, the leaders of the revolution was not able to establish a government that compact and stable and revolution marked by unrest and civil war for a long time, practically lasted until 1949.
As a young teenager, Mao knew exactly take the left in his political views and in 1920 he really had a genuine Marxist. In 1921 he was one of the twelve founders of the Chinese Communist party. But the increase to the highest peak of the party leadership is slow, so new in the year 1935 he became chairman of the party.
Meanwhile, as a whole was the way the Chinese Communist party crawling, twisting, bumping in an attempt to take power. Party suffered many setbacks in 1927 and in 1934, but nevertheless he was able to survive and live on. After the year 1935, under the leadership of Mao, the party strength steadily increased and continued to grow. In 1947, the Chinese Communist party was ready to overthrow the government combat the Nationalist party leader Chiang Kai-Shek. In 1949, troops seized glorious victory and absolute Communist Party control of the entire Chinese mainland.
China at the time of Mao as the leader of the Communist Party holds the reins of government after the fierce battle for thirty-eight years, nearly a China that has torn, ragged, poor and destitute and the traditional backward and illiterate, so that seems to haunt the dark career of Mao with various obstacles and form a dead-end road end.
However, contrary to the fact that, because thanks to the extraordinary influence of the mass, all these shortcomings were not the end but rather the beginning of the career of leadership, because at the time of his death in 1976 practically a total overhaul of Mao's China. One aspect of the reform in general is the modernization of the country, especially industrialization, increasing level of education is extremely fast and the improvement of people's health level of excitement. These changes, however important, is not the main reason for placing Mao in order this book lists for other countries were in the same time doing the same.
Another aspect of the success of China under Mao was the change in the economic system of the capitalist system to a socialist system. Politically, of course, cultivation was carried out by totalitarian ways hard. But keep in mind, through indoctrination and upgrading of the intensive and tireless, Mao succeeded in not only driving the economic and political revolution but also a social revolution. Within a quarter of a century has been able to do the reforms in terms of fidelity to a narrow kefamilian be loyalty to the nation as a whole. These reforms have very important meaning in the history of the system given the loyalty and bonds kefamilian in China teramatlah firm. More than that, the Chinese government launched a determined fight against the ideology of propaganda Kong Hu-Cu and these efforts seem to reach the target.
Of course, not a decisive Mao's political line under the government's Communist party. Mao never plays a role as a self-made by Stalin in the Soviet Union. However, it was Mao is far more important figure than anyone in the government of China until his death in 1976.
One project that no doubt is the primary responsibility is what Mao's famous "leap ahead" in the late 50's. Many observers believe that the project, including the emphasis on methods of production intensively with the use of human energy, including small-scale agriculture in the form of communes, as a project that failed. (In most cases even ignored). Other projects get the support of Mao, the risk can be challenged by many Chinese leaders, is the "great cultural revolution of the proletariat" in the late 1960s. This is a sharp conflict, in some ways almost like a civil war between Mao and his supporters on one side with a group of stone heads of the bureaucracy of the Communist party on the other.
Interesting to note, Mao has aged in the mid-sixties when the political line "Leap ahead" and was launched through the seventies when the "cultural revolution" driven. And at the time step approach with the United States occurred, he was nearly eighty years.
Mao was originally held to the opinion, the industrial workers in cities is the basis of the Communist party's strongest supporters. This is in line with Marx's theory. However, around the year 1952 Mao concluded - at least in China - the cornerstone of the party came from the peasants, not workers. This assumption is essentially, because during the long and bitter battle with the Nationalist regime, Mao had always been in rural areas. This idea is applied when he became head of state. For example, if when Stalin to power in Russia is generally focused on the development of industrial production sector, Mao generally attract greater attention on the development of agriculture and rural sectors. Even so, China's industrial development under Mao developed rapidly.
Not an easy assess the importance of long-term from a contemporary political figure. Mao Tse Tung have a place in the list above sequence of George Washington, because the reforms, reforms in the country are responsible for Mao's actions far more fundamental than what has been done by George Washington. Mao also may place more of than Napoleon, Hitler and Alexander the Great due to the long-term effects of the inherent, and is certainly larger than those belonging to the so-called first.
Another obvious comparison is between Mao and Lenin. Mao's rule during a period longer than Lenin, after all the domestic population much more. (This fact was shown, during Mao's reign over a period of any ruler in history!) However, Mao and Lenin before emitting a strong influence of Mao, and the road to establish Communism in Russia means that he prepare and pave the way for subsequent formation of the Chinese Communists.
People who work their business almost comparable to Mao Shih Huang Ti. Both the Chinese and the two architects of the reforms, reforms to the country. Shih Huang Ti could place more on the order of this book because we know the effect lasted for no less than twenty-two centuries. Although the changes are likely to be Mao's more important and more fundamental, but we do not know exactly how long the effects can last.
