Mao Zedong (1893 - 1976)
Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893 - September 9, 1976) was the Chairman of the Communist Party of China from 1935 until his death. Under his leadership, it became the ruling party of mainland China as the result of its victory in the Chinese Civil War and the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Mao developed a brand of Sinified Marxism-Leninism known as Maoism, and while in power collectivized agriculture under the Great Leap Forward. He forged, and later split, an alliance with the Soviet Union and launched the Cultural Revolution.
Mao is widely credited for creating a mostly unified China that was free of foreign domination for the first time since the Opium War, while at the same time criticized for the famine of 1958-1961 and the violence of the Cultural Revolution.
In China, Mao is sometimes referred to as the "Four Greats", "Great Teacher, Great Leader, Great Supreme Commander, Great Helmsman". He was commonly addressed as as Chairman Mao (Mao Zhuxi).
