Long March

The Long March was a strategic retreat by the Chinese Communist Party from 1934 to 1935, covering about 6,000 miles through rugged terrain to escape the Chinese Nationalist forces. It allowed the Communists to regroup, strengthen their leadership, and continue their fight for control of China. The march is considered a vital moment in Chinese history, symbolizing perseverance, unity, and revolutionary resilience. Despite heavy losses, the journey helped solidify Mao Zedong’s leadership and laid the foundation for the eventual Communist victory in China.
