Описание:

Reasons for CCP victory:
- Mao appointed competent leaders such as Lin Biao as head of the Red Army, whom he did not interfere with

- The Red Army was trained and renamed the People's Liberation Army (PLA)

- The CCP and PLA's good treatment of citizens according to the Three Rules and Eight Points of Behaviour made the people favour the CCP

- The continuing land reforms, literacy, and medical transformations increased peasant support

Reasons for GMD defeat:
- NRA had a large number of soldiers but they weren't as trained as the PLA

- Morale was low after fighting the Japanese. Many deserted to join the PLA

- GMD's support came from businessmen and landlords, unlike the larger body of peasants

- There were internal devisions which opposed Chiang Kai-shek

- Chiang Kai-shek chose officials and officers not based on their skill but their loyalty

- Hyperinflation could not be controlled by the GMD which made them unpopular

- Controlled their land via intimidation and not diplomacy like the CCP
