Detailed explanation-1: -On 1 October 1949, Mao formally proclaimed the creation of the People’s Republic of China. The Communist victory had a major impact on the global balance of power: China became the largest socialist state by population, and, after the 1956 Sino-Soviet split, a third force in the Cold War.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Communists gained control of mainland China and established the People’s Republic of China in 1949, forcing the leadership of the Republic of China to retreat to the island of Taiwan.
Detailed explanation-3: -Background. The 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria began a chain of events that led to the eventual communist overthrow of China in 1949. For years, the Nationalist government of Chiang Kai Shek had worked to suppress rebellions by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Detailed explanation-4: -The combination of increasing imperialist demands (from both Japan and the West), frustration with the foreign Manchu Government embodied by the Qing court, and the desire to see a unified China less parochial in outlook fed a growing nationalism that spurred on revolutionary ideas.
