The Struggle for Unity: China between Nationalist and Communist Regimes (1946-1960)

This thesis explores the tumultuous period of Chinese history from 1946 to 1960, marked by the conflict between Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek and Communist leader Mao Zedong. Following World War II, China’s attempts at independence were hindered by political divisions that led to a civil war. After 1949, Mao's leadership saw the Communist Party establish control, despite significant economic challenges. The study examines the impacts of external influence from the USA and USSR, along with major policies like the Five-Year Plan and the Great Leap Forward, shaping China's modern trajectory.
