Reasons+for+Communist+Victory


 * There are many reasons contributing to the communist eventual success in 1949. The significant reasons can be placed under the social, political and milatry advantages which were available to the communists. It is important to understand why the Nationalits were beaten in terms of their faliures in order to assess the reasons for communist victory.

The Communists imposed Guerilla warfare, something oppostite to what the GMD were doing, overcoming the advantage of the nationlists having milatry superiority, (they had more troops). Mao was strongly criticised for his 'moderate strongly' towards guerilla tactics but managed to use this to their advantage.**
