Considered the founder of the People’s Republic of China, he rose to power in the 1930s, leading the Long March and becoming head of the Chinese Communist party that eventually defeated the Nationalists. He led the new nation until 1958 when he was replaced due to the failure of many programs, including the Great Leap Forward, a plan to kick-start local industrial growth. He regained power after the disruption of the Cultural Revolution, a four-year period of unrest that he directed.
