The chinese Communist revolution is a very important episode in the history of the world in the twentieth century. The Revolution of 1949 was shaped by interplay of variety of causes and left an abiding mark on the history of the world. The Chinese revolution was the result of prevalent socioeconomic and political conditions in China. Chinese economy was dominated by agriculture. Crafts were there but they were practiced with primitive and outdated techniques. Heavy revenue burdens were imposed on the Chinese peasants who groaned under the burden.
SIGNIFICANCE:
ese revolution has set the path for revolutions in all backward countries. The Chinese revolution has shown the path for socialist construction, in its essence, throughout the world. And, most important, the Chinese revolution has thrown up the theory and ideology of Mao Tsetung Thought (or Maoism) which is universally applicable and constitutes a new and higher stage in the development of Marxism-Leninism.In the present historical juncture, no revolution, democratic or socialist, is conceivable without the acceptance of the above three facts. There have been numerous revolutions, as in Albania, Vietnam, Cuba, North Korea, East Europe, etc., but the qualitative difference between these and both the Russian and Chinese revolutions is that while blazing a new path,both further developed the basic Marxist concepts. While Marx and Engels set forth the basic proletarian theory of scientific socialism, these were enriched and developed by Lenin, Stalin and Mao in the course of the above two revolutions.
