ChineseCivil War
Ancient China
Part 1:
What kinds of thingsunify a country?What makes China
Chinese?
Religion Language Law Money Government Tradition Food
The Unification of China The Qin dynasty
– The first emperor was Qin Shihuangdi
– (221 B.C.E.) – Qin China
The Unification of ChinaThe Qin dynasty
– Established central rule– Large public projects like the Great
Wall– No opposition! He buried 460
scholars alive because of their criticism against the Qin
– Burned all books except some with utilitarian value
China is now Unified
The Qin dynasty– Policies of centralization
• Standard laws, currencies, weights, measures
• Printing press developed in 800 AD
How would these things help unify a country?
Chinese Trade Routes
What does this have to do with the Chinese economy?
China’s Isolationism
China wanted to stay isolated.
China was willing to sell things to the rest of the world, but didn’t want anything from them.
China had so many people it didn’t NEED to find more markets.
Modern China1842-2011
Part 2:
Opium War
Europe wanted to trade with China.
By 1835: 12 million opium addicts in China.
1839 Britain fought to sell the drug in China - and won.
Why did China not want to trade with Britain?
Goal for Today
By the end of the class today, you will be able to write a detailed, six sentence paragraph about Sun Yixian and his role in Chinese history.
Timeline of Modern China
1842 Opium War 1895 Sun Yixian attempts coup to
overthrow the Manchu Dynasty- fails 1898 Boxer Rebellion: anti-foreigner 1912 Sun Yixian is successful, and
founds the Chinese Republic Manchu (Qing) Dynasty (1644-1912 AD)
Sun Yixian
the “Father of Modern China” Started the underground
“Revive China Society” to change the way China was ruled.
His first attempt at revolution failed, so he went into exile.
World tour in exile 1895-1911 raising money for revolution
Sun Yixian
Chinese citizens worldwide donated money.
Some tried to assassinate him.

New government: Republic of China
Removed the last emperor from the throne.
Hsian-T'ung
Last emperor of China
Became Emperor at age 3.
Overthrown at age 7. (1912)
What did Ido wrong?
Three Principles of the People1. Nationalism -- End foreign control!
2. People’s Rights --- Democracy.
3. People’s Livelihood --- Economic security for all Chinese.
The Chinese people do not have a national spirit, but they need one.
These are the ideas that the newgovernment is being built on.
Republic of China
First: President Sun Yixian
Then: General Yuan Shikai, who was not very democratic.
He made himself Emperor!
People revolted against Shikai.
Then: civil war 1916
Treaty of Versailles
This treaty ended World War I.
Treaty written by Western powers– Italy– England– France– USA
Treaty of Versailles
Treaty did not help China get back lost territory.
Territory that Germany had taken was given to JAPAN!
Why is this significant?
One more reason not to trust the West.

May Fourth Movement
1919 World War I ends
Treaty of Versailles does not reward China
3000 students marched in protest of Japanese imperialism and Western support of it.
Workers, shopkeepers and professionals protest
Why is this significant?
China wanted a strong, modern, independent nation, preferably not influenced by the West.

That was a vocabulary term. Did you get it?
What was theMay Fourth Movement?
2 Sides to Civil War
Nationalist Sun Yixian: leader Kuomintang: The
Nationalist Party Western influence
Communist Mao Zedong: leader The Chinese
Communist Party Anti-western
influence
That was a vocabulary term. Did you get it?
What was theKuomintang?
China needs change.Can the two groupscooperate to get it done? Sun Yixian tried to unite both
revolutionary groups. Vladimir Lenin supported this,
and helped the Nationalists. Sounds good, right?
Good leaders arehard to find.
First: Dr. Sun Yixian led Kuomintang 1912, but did not have the authority or military support.
Second: General Yuan Shikai led Kuomintang next, but did not stay very democratic. (Emperor??)
Third: Jiang Jieshi took over the Kuomintang 1925.
How does this transfer of power compare to other revolutions?
England France Russia USA
Jiang Jieshi
Kuomintang leader Promised
democracy and political rights for all Chinese
But his government became less democratic and more corrupt.
Jiang Jieshi
When his government became corrupt, people turned to the alternative:
The Chinese Communist Party
Lenin only wanted the Nationalists and Communists to cooperate for a little while.
“get rid of the warlords”
Then he was going to eliminate the Nationalists.
“Workers of the world unite.”Communism is international.
Look at where the Communists and Nationalists had power.
Who is communism for?
The workers
But if the country is not industrialized, has no factories, who are your workers?
answer: the farmer peasants
Compare
Jiang Jieshi & Nationalists
Some Western influence is ok
For the capitalists Capitalists live in
cities
Mao Zedong & Communists
No Western influence
For the workers peasants
Peasants make up 90% of the population
Peasants do not live in cities
Where do you think their strength will be?
Who will help them?
Foreign countries
Chinese in the country
Chinese in the city
Where do you think their strength will be?
KMT CCP
The White TerrorApril 1927
Massacre in Shanghai, Nanking, Hangchow, Foochow, Canton and other large cities.
Nationalist troops, gangs and secret agents shot suspects, raided communist groups and eliminated workers unions.
5,000 communists were shot and killed, and many more left the party.
The White Terror ofApril 1927
April 1927Nationalist forces
slaughtered Communists.
The Chinese Communist Party was almost entirely eliminated.
Just a few remained.
They fled to the countryside.
Communists are out of the way.
Nationalists (Kuomintang) have control of China.
Jiang Jieshi becomes president of the Republic of China.
Western powers such as US and Britain formally recognize.
You better recognize! Yeah, yeah. We recognize.Yeah, yeah. We recognize.
You killed my communists!I DON’T recognize.
Russia wasn’t so happy.
Mao Zedong In order for the Communist Party to survive, he needed the support of the farmer peasants in the country.
In order to get their support, he promised to give them something they didn’t have:
Land
Land
Land was taken away from landowners and given to peasants.
This is called Land Reform.
Journal Entry
Why do you think this Land Reform would get the Communist Party the support it needed?
Change Takes Time
Capitalist change does not take place overnight.
Shock therapy? Are people patient
when they are hungry?
Communist change is immediate.
Suddenly you have your own piece of land!
Thank you,Mao!
The Long MarchThe Long MarchWhat was it?
A 6000 mile journey taken by Communists escaping the Nationalist army from 1934-1936.
Why was it significant?
Along the way, the Communists shared their ideas and gave hope to desperate peasants. This is how the Communists gained popular support.
The Cold War 1949-1990The Cold War 1949-1990The Soviet Union wanted the world to be communist.
The United States wanted the world to be capitalist.
These nations did not fight each other directly.
Instead, they tried to influence other natons.

The Soviet Union supported the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The United States supported the Nationalist party (KMT).
The Nationalists had the advantage.The Nationalists had the advantage.Nationalists outnumbered the communist Red Army 3 to 1.
The United States gave money to the Nationalists: nearly $2 billion.
The Communists were on the run, retreating across 6000 miles of territory.
But China today is Communist.
What happened to the Nationalists?

This is about how Taiwan compares to California in size.
You’re in control now, Mao.What do you want to do?
•Nationalize businesses.•Increase industry. •Collectivize farms.
AndmakeChinaa modern,industrialized,powerful nation!
Nationalize businesses!
Private businesses were gradually taken over by the government.
The Chinese Communist Party then made all decisions for each business.
All control is from the government. All profit is for the government.
Increase industry!
1953, Mao launched a five-year plan that set high production goals for industry.
China boosted its output of coal, cement, steel, machines and electricity.
Thousands of new industrial projects were created.
Now let’s talk about changing the farms.
How can we make them more productive?
1950
Mao continued land reform.
1952
Mao wanted to increase productivity everywhere, including the farms.
Collectivize farms!
Remember this?
Stalin collectivized farms for greater productivity.
So did Mao Zedong.
Remember this?
Stalin collectivized farms for greater productivity.
So did Mao Zedong.
1952
Chinese farmers were told to share their animals, equipment and labor with other farmers.
Sounds good.
We like to share.
Land Reform
There were four stages to land reform.
Four Stages of Land Reform
Don’t take notes yet.
Just watch and listen.
I will sum up the four stages at the end.
1930’s
Chinese farmers often owned no land.They lived and worked for a landlord.
Life was hard.
1940’s Farmers own an equal share of land.
Mao Zedong said it was unfair for someone to have lots of land, when other people had none.
He split up each piece of land so everyone owned about 1/2 acre of land.
They could farm it however they liked.
1952 Farmers share equipment.
Mao Zedong wanted more agricultural productivity.
Each farmer now had to share his tools, equipment and labor with 10 other farmers nearby.
This was a Mutual Aid Team. It worked really well.
Productivity increased.
1953 Farmers share everything.
If small teams work well, don’t you think big teams would work better?
Agricultural Producer Cooperatives
More farms are joined together.Farmers still have some differences in income based on land and equipment.
What about super-sized teams?What about super-sized teams?
Collective Farms
•All private ownership ends.
•Everyone gets paid the same.
