1 Jan 1934 Jahr - The Long March - The Exodus of the Chinese Communists

Beschreibung:

Chinese Communists who had evaded the Kuomintang purge of 1927 first fled to the Jiangxi province, in the general area of Southeastern China. There, they set up their own Communist government modeled after the Russian Communist regime. Throughout 1934, a multitude of military assaults on Communist-held territory were orchestrated by the Kuomintang. As the Nationalists begun to pull ahead in the struggle, the Communists were forced out of Jiangxi.
Over the course of more than a year, nearly 100,000 Chinese Communists traveled to the Shaanxi province of Northwestern China on foot. Those who survived the Kuomintang attacks on the group met up with Communists that had already been based in Shaanxi, establishing a Communist government in Yan’an with Mao Zedong as their head of state.
