Communists vs. Nationalists in China
After WWII, Mao Zedong led communist forces to victory over Jiang Jieshi’s Nationalists, who fled to Taiwan
Mao began to reshape China’s economy First, he gave land to peasants, but then called for
collectivization (similar to Russia under Stalin) Under this system, Mao moved people from their
small villages and individual farms into communes of thousands of people on thousands of acres

Great Leap Forward Known as the Great Leap Forward, the
program was intended to increase farm and industrial production
Instead, it produced low quality, useless goods and less food
Bad weather also affected crops, and many people starved

Cultural Revolution in China To remove “bourgeois” (middle class)
tendencies from China, Mao began the Cultural Revolution
Skilled workers and managers were removed from factories and forced to work on farms or in labor camps
This resulted in a slowed economy and a threat of civil war

Taiwan vs. ChinaU.S. Relations with China
At first, the United States supported the Nationalist government in Taiwan
The West was concerned that the Soviet Union and China would become allies, but border clashes led the USSR to withdraw aid and advisors from China
U.S. leaders thought that by improving relations with the Chinese, they would further isolate the Soviets
In 1979, the USA established diplomatic relations with China

The Korean Peninsula Korea was an independent nation until Japan
invaded it in WWII After WWII, American and Soviet forces agreed
to divide the Korean Peninsula at the 38th parallel
Kim Il Sung, a communist ruled North Korea Syngman Rhee, allied with the USA,
controlled South Korea

Korean War In 1950, North Korean troops crossed the 38th
parallel and attacked South Korea The United Nation forces stopped them along a
line known as the Pusan Perimeter, then began advancing north
Mao Zedong of China sent troops to help the North Koreans
U.N. forces were pushed back south of the 38th parallel

Armistice in Korea In 1953, both sides signed an armistice to end
the fighting, but troops today remain on both sides of the demilitarized zone (DMZ)
There is no peace treaty between North and South Korea—a state of war technically still exists
Over time, South Korea enjoyed an economic boom and a rise in living standards, while communist North Korea’s economy declined
Many North Koreans have starved to death Kim Il Sung’s emphasis on self-reliance kept
North Korea isolated and poor
