Errors

1. The communists fled from their stronghold in Jiangxi because they were being overrun by the nationalists. They finally arrived in the northern province of Shaanxi (see map). The text suggests the children have not understood this.

2. The idea of Mao as German is ridiculous. It is obviously vandalism. Remove it. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:00, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Still one-eyed

The page is still rather one-eyed. It ignores the fact that Japan invaded China in 1937, and remained in control of the puppet regime of Manchukuo until qute late in WWII. (It's called the Second Sino-Japanese War). The brunt of fighting the Japanese was felt by the nationalists, and that is one of the main reasons the communists triumphed in the end. The Japanese also controlled Korea (since 1910) and exerted its power in Peking and Shanghai.

With the defeat of Japan and its retreat from Manchukuo, the communists were perfectly placed to take over the power vacuum in the north-east of China. This led to their ultimate victory over the nationalists, which came in 1948.

It seems to me that connections need to be made between the march and the background of the larger Sino-Japanese struggle. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:48, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
