Question

The tenets of Marxism called for a revolution by the proletariat, that is, the industrial workers. However, China was a nation of peasants, so an anticolonial adaptation of Marxism was provided during the 1940s by __________.

Answer 1

The answer is Mao Zedong

Step-by-step explanation:

Mao Zedong took down the traditional Chinese government and put the Communist Pary instead in 1949. China's situation was catastrophic when Mao came to power. Broken down after decades of wars, the economy was in pieces. There was no unified currency, inflation was out of control, and the communications networks were destroyed. In a very short time, Mao manages to rebuild the economy. However, in order to turn China into an industrial power, Mao launched the Great Leap Forward, forcing millions of Chinese to abandon their small subsistence plantations to work without rest on collective farms and industries in the state. His government ended in 1959 with the Great Chinese Famine.
