This date marked the official beginning of the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party) rule under a single party rule. However, one question remains: what exactly were the prominent conditions that led to this rise of the CCP under Mao Zedong? Although one could easily isolate several specific variables that aided the parties rise, such as the failure of the GMD (Nationalist Party) or even The May 4th Movement, one must look at it more broadly to understand the bigger picture of the circumstances. When looking at†¦show more content†¦One last sort-of-social condition that led to the single party state rule had to do with the invasion of Manchuria. Manchuria, being a Chinese region, was full of agricultural products, opportunities and even mineral/natural resources. Ergo, Japan wanted to capture it, and this conflict led to a larger scale war, and b y the end, â€Å"The war with Japan had left China exhausted and weak† (Leung, 99). Thus, this gave the possibility to the CCP (because they took more advantage of it) to rise and take power over the GMD. Thus, the social and economic aspects of China in the time period also had a rather large effect on China becoming ruled by a single party rule governed by Mao. In conclusion, political, social and economic conditions in China were altogether very responsible for the rise of the CCP. From the civil war (political) to the runaway inflation (economic) and even to the bad relations between the GMD and scholars (social), all these aspects make up what was to become Mao Zedong’s rule. Failures, mainly from the part of the GMD, also helped the CCP rise, such as the non-acknowledgment of the peasantry or even the failure to wipe out the CCP during the White Terror. Altogether, there was a considerable amount of reasoning and conditions behind the rise of Mao and his party. WORKS CITED PAGE Fairbank, John King.

Most of all, however, the CCP managed to united and gain the support of the peasantry, something that very largely helped it in attaining its goals. Then, durin g the Civil War, the general Chinese population blamed the GMD for instigating the Civil War (1946-1949), as well as the GMD seeing itself becoming increasingly against personal freedom etc. As a result, by the end of the Civil War, the CCP was clearly the stronger party, as can be seen by its army growing from 1.2 million to 4 million between 1946-1949, while the GMD’s went from 4.8 million to 1.5 million. Thus, in October 1949, Mao proclaimed China the â€Å"People’s Republic of China,† ergo starting the rule of a single-party state in China. The next conditions to be analyzed according to the Chinese context before the establishment of a single-party state are the social and economic conditions. Socially, one of the primary conditions was one previously mentioned, that of the GMD not giving recognition, or coming to the aid of, the peasantry. This ignoring of this huge portion of the population caused their group to lose much support and, in turn, give a lot of that support away to the CCP, who took advantage of the situation. Even the runaway inflation had major causes on the outcome.
