Mao Zedong
He was the communist leader of the People’s Republic ofChina
He was born in the Shaoshan,Hunan Changsha Jiangxi
The Republic of China lasted from 1911-1949, in that time period the country saw many brutal conflicts with the Japanese occupation, which took place from 1931-1945. One of Mao’s sayings was that “revolution is not a dinner party” (Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan, 1927). Even in the later years though, Mao did not have a strong regard for human lives. In the mid-1950s, Mao began to confirm that he was willing to sacrifice up to one third of all the Chinese, to stop world capitalism, in a nuclear war.
Within the early 1940s, Mao began a party purge. This involved driving a small number of dissidents to commit suicide, or killing them. His goal was to install his own version of communism. This act installed future campaigns against dissidents, even after he publicly apologized for the act.
From 1950-1953, the Korean War was a war against the United States “imperialism”. Mao stated in “On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People”February 27, 1957 that 800,000 counterrevolutionaries were killed. In 1952, China

Mao caused the most loss of life when he organized the Great Leap Forward. This famine in 1959 resulted from misguided economic policies.
