The Chinese Revolution of 1949

Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong declared the creation of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949.  This declaration was so important because it ended the civil war between the Communist Party and the Nationalist Party.  The formation of the People's Republic of China was really what initiated the rebuild and strength of governmental challenges China was facing.

  1. This revolution reminds me of the fight for freedom of expression in my post about "gangnam style". It's eyeopening to see how long the Chinese people have been fighting for their rights, and how they struggle to modernize to the same level as the United States.
