1949 People's Revolution

The 1949 People's Revolution, primarily referring to the Chinese Communist Revolution, was a pivotal event where the Communist Party of China, led by Mao Zedong, overthrew the Nationalist government (Kuomintang) after years of civil war and resistance against Japanese invasion. This resulted in the establishment of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949. The revolution aimed to transform China into a socialist state, redistributing land, and implementing new social and economic policies, profoundly shaping the country's future political and social landscape.
