The 19th Century wasn’t a good one for China. It was marked by the nation being taken advantage of by foreign powers and the signing of lopsided treaties.

The 20th Century started out promising, but eventually devolved into a series of warlords and a civil war between two major forces for control of the country, on top of the Japanese occupation of most of the country.

When the dust settled in 1949, the victors were the Communists. China and the world haven’t been the same since.

Learn more about the Chinese Communist Revolution, why it happened, and how the Communists won on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
