The Japanese were partially responsible for bringing communism to China in the 1900’s. The Republic of China was being lead by Sun Yat Sen during the time period of 1894-1895 also when the Chinese lost the Sino-Japanese war. After Sun Yat Sen died in 1925, Chiang Kai-Sheck became the ruler. At the same time Mao Zedong was the propaganda leader and strongly fostering communism. Mao did not give up on promoting communism, even during the Long March. Then in 1931 Japan started invading Manchuria, and the Chinese communist party increased its strength. Because during the Chinese Civil War, the CCP and Mao were able to free parts of northern China from the Japanese. While Chiang was too focused on Manchuria he was not able to halt the spread of communism. He therefore lost and allowed Mao to create the peoples republic of China.
