Communist Party of China

The Communist Party of China, CPC, is the world's largest political party who founded the People's Republic of China. Through the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, the CPC has supreme control over China's government, military, and media. Out of the political turmoil arose the political party. The CPC allied with the next greatest political faction in China, the Kuomintang who had a republican agenda. The two combated warlords and other minor factions. However, once the threat of warlords achieving power was over the two allies split and began fighting amongst themselves. In the beginning of the Chinese Civil War, the CPC faced defeat. They soon gained a strong leader named Mao Zedong who rallied all Chinese communists under his wing and fought against the Kuomintang. World War II temporarily interfered with the civil conflict. Through this, the CPC gained a large supply of Japanese, American, and KMT (Kuomintang) firearms and other weapons. Once the global war was over, the Chinese Civil War resumed. Soon, the CPC pushed the KMT to the eastern coasts of China. In 1949, the Communist Party of China gained power over the nation. Mao Zedong led the nation from the beginning of the nation on 1949 to his death in 1976.
