About this audiobook
Let’s take a look at the past 120 years of Chinese history, from the country’s start as a backward, struggling empire in the late 19th century to a totalitarian communist superpower.
The radical transformation of China from a dynastic monarchy to a dominant global communist regime is very compelling for readers of all ages and interests, and this audiobook tells the history of the most important developments during this period.
Filled with ideological and intellectual struggles, internal divisions and civil wars, conflicts with foreign nations, and influential changes throughout the 20th century, modern Chinese history promises to be interesting to listen to.
Throughout the audiobook, you will learn about the following:
- The collapse of the Qing dynasty in early 20th-century China
- Influential characters from the early days of the Chinese Republic
- Events that shaped the first thirty years of the 20th century in China and eventually led to the First United Front
- The rise of communism and the formation of the CCP
- The impact of World War II, Japanese occupation, and the Chinese Civil War
- Mao Zedong, the communist victory, and the fleeing of the Nationalist government to the island of Taiwan
- The formation of the People’s Republic of China and the socioeconomic policies of the 1950s
- The Great Leap Forward and its results for the Chinese people
- The Cultural Revolution, Mao’s death, and the development of the country from the late 1970s
- And much, much more!
