Mao's Victory: How Peasants Won China's Civil War

In this episode, we explore how Mao Zedong's communist forces, initially a ragtag guerrilla group, defeated Chiang Kai-shek's well-equipped Nationalist army, ultimately establishing the People's Republic of China. We also examine the crucial role of land reform and peasant support in Mao's revolutionary strategy, contrasting it with Chiang's conventional approach.
