  • The breakdown of imperial China in the face of Japanese and Western encroachments

    The early struggles between the ideologies and armies of Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong

    China's bitter and costly war with Japan

    The Chinese Communist Party’s successes during the 1950s

    Mao Zedong’s turbulent and tragic Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution
