1.Justice
2.Liberty
3.Equality

My top choice is Justice. I think Justice is more important because everybody deserves the same rights but if you break one of them and do something really bad you should be punished. And without justice nobody would care about liberty and equality everybody would just try and stay alive.

Corruption, peasant unrest and having an ineffective government were what the Chinese dynasty had been suffering from.

Sunyat Sen led the revolution, and it ended 2,000 years of the Chinese dynasty

3. Explain the role of the Nationalists and Communists in the Chinese Government

Mao declared the peoples' republic of china, which had ended the civil war between the Communists and Nationalists.

4. Highlight the role of Mao in China

In China, Mao played a very influential role, as he had caused this major change, eliminating the four olds, and creating new ways for china, including the adding of rights for women. He had a specialized force called the Red Guard to speak the goods about communism.


Notes on Mao video:

-The ruler of dynastys were called emprures

-During 1500's chinas good increased

-Europeans forced chinas government to trade goods.

-Chinese forced out chinas last emperor in 1911

-In october 1949 the chinese civil war ended gaining control of china

-Mao;s first priority as chinas leader was to erase any evidence of equality

-Food production fell

-Managers of communal farms lied about having food

-Mao called for new cultural revolution

-Opponants of Mao were abused and sometimes killed

-Mao died in 1976

Mao impacted china alot because he tryed to erase information in china and wanted to start the chinese revolution.As soon as that started food production fell and managers of communal farms had to start lieing about having food when they didn't. Mao would abuse or kill his opponants to show them there following his rules or he would do those things. And eventully in 1976 the chinese revolution started to fade away cause Mao died.



A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.

— From Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan

The meaning of this quote is to show that revolution has to do with violence.



The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them.

— From Be Concerned with the Well-Being of the Masses, Pay Attention to Methods of Work

-Saying pay attention to the methods




War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations, states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes.

— From Problems of Strategy in China's Revolutionary War

-Saying groups have existed before this and theres different classes to this.





Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

— From Problems of War and Strategy

-Communist need the truth before anything else.



Students should discuss and and answer the following questions...

  • According to the quotes above how might Mao Zedong define revolution?

According to these quotes, it seems as if Mao's perception of revolution involves guaranteed, violence. Without violence, there will be no success in a revolution is what he is saying. He is also saying that a war is led to as the most intense effect of a conflict, and identifies what he sees as ways that a war comes about most often, which is inequality found in many different spaces.

  • Do you agree with quotes of Mao? Why or why not? (use specific evidence from the quotes)

I agree with Mao belief that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun", for the reason of being aware that a strong military will defeat the opposing side any day.
