Mao's China, 1949- 1958
•Tradition in China gave new rulers “Mandate from Heaven”
•Democratic Centralism - Total obedience to the leader (Leninist model)
•The First Plan ( 5 year plan) - Some aid from USSR, Emphasis on heavy industry
•Like Russia there was a form of collectivization called APC’s (Agricultural Producer Co-Operatives)
Summary: Mao is a dictator, he felt that god chose him to be the leader of China " Mandate from Heaven". His decisions are based on a higher power, he felt like he was given the power to rule by god. Democratic Centralism meant that there must be total obedience to the leader, and civilians were "brainwashed" at early ages. They wanted to do a 5 year plan to become a leading country with heavy industry, they also did something very similar to Russia: collectivization called APC's- taking all the smaller farms and making them into bigger ones. Set the stage
