Mao Zedong
China during the twentieth-first century has experienced much political influence. China is also one of the most populated nations in the world. The people of China have a strong Heritage and a desire to see China become a worldwide military power. The leadership of China has faced many problems associated with a large population and satisfying the people's needs. The imperialist era of China lasted for two thousand years before revolution in 1911. After the revolution, a period of anarchy and warlord rule decimated the country's stability. The people desperately needed a central government that could properly lead the country into a industrial revolution. The leader to emerge from this era of instability to form a central government was Mao Zedong. Mao is one of the most controversial political figures in modern world history. Mao was and still is a influential figure in Chinese ideology. This paper will argue that Mao became the leader of China through his military! and leadership skills during "The Long March".

ch can lead to countries competing for more efficient production and use of raw materials. This leads to more employment opportunities for the citizens of that country. Competition from competing countries will also motivate governments to seek production efficiency through modernization and innovation. The effects of international trading among the world's nations was beneficial to some and detrimental to others. The western powers and Japan both benefited from international trade and ultimately, led to their individual countries modernizing through the natural effects of international trade.

The military academy that Chiang had supervised and developed close personal ties to its constiuents had produce around 500 officers. Chiang, under support from the USSR and the CCP was ready to began a military campaign to dominate China. The CCP welcomed the "United Front" with the GMD because it allowed them to not only liberize China, but become an political identity among the Chinese population. As previously mentioned, China was in political turmoil and was ruled by harsh warlords. In July of 1926, Chiang began the northern campaign. Chiang ordered the National Revolutionary Army to march north to rescue the population from the destructive warlords. The NRA found much success and easially overcame the smaller warlord's armies. In addition, Chiang offered many of the warlords positions in the NRA and GMD. After complete domination, the GMD setup local governmental a! erity further developed these countries technology and infrastructure. The primary point is that Japan and other western powers were able to become military powers through international trading and industrial revolution. China did not benefit from international trade and could not enter an industrial revolution. This left China in a position of military disadvantage to western powers and Japan, which is especially unnerving for the people of China. Examples of military powers dominating Chinese military during the nineteenth-century are plentiful. During 1839 to 1842, the British fought the "Opium Wars" against China. The "Opium Wars" occurred because of international trading and resulted in Hong Kong being signed over to Great Britain. In 1860, Britain and France attacked Beijing, the capital of China. Then in 1894 and 1895, Japan attack Korea and other sea ports that were crucial to Chinese trade. The resulting treaty gave foreign powers control of China's seaports.!
