(December 26, 1893 - September 9, 1976)
Mao Zedong was a revolutionary figure who became the
chairman of the radical Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The revolution idea originated back during the Chinese
Revolutionary War between Southern China and the Qing
Dynasty, which ended the imperial rule. From then, a civil
war broke out in China in 1927 and ended in 1949 with
Zedong liberating the nationalists and establishing the
People's Republic of China. Mao Zedong's rule in China
became brutal as people were brainwashed by CCP's
propaganda. This includes the Cultural Revolution in 1966
and the Tiananmen Square Protest in 1989, in which the
CCP wanted to get rid any evidence to those events that
didn't fit their agenda, which still continues today.
