china and the new world
have you studied your chinese history?
the comunists didnt just take over, they seized power when the imperial government was at an all time low, other countires were pushing china around, japan was invading and russia was eyeing chinas land gredily. many revolutionary groups seized this opertunity to harness the peasants unrest in the imperial govt to take control.
furthurmore, the communists won because they promised to abolish the long held traditions, such as the familil respect, that the peasants hated.
