feb 13, 1934 - The Long March

Description:

Nationalist forces repeatedly attacked the Communists.
As the Nationalists’ assaults became more destructive, the Communists were forced to evacuate from Jiangxi.
The long march began and lasted for more than a year.
About 100,000 communist Communists made their way on foot from Jiangxi to Shaanxi province in northwestern China.
Chased by Nationalist troops and strafed by aircraft while crossing 18 mountain ranges and 24 rivers.
Many died on the 6,000-mile trip. Those who survived, along with Communists already in Shaanxi, established their headquarters in the isolated mountain town of Yan’an.
On this trip, a charismatic young man named Mao Zedong established himself as a leader.
