Mao Tse-Tung was born on December 26th, 1893 and died on September 9th, 1076.
He was a Chinese Communist leader.
Mao led the Communist Party of China to victory against the Kuomintang in the Chinese Civil War, and was the leader of the People’s Republic of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976.
Time Magazine names Chairman Mao as one of the most influential personalities of the 20th century.
In China, a lot of people see him as a poet, philosopher and visionary.
Critics blame many of Mao's socio-political programs, such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, for causing severe damage to the culture, society, economy, and foreign relations of China, as well as a probable death toll in the tens of millions. His adoption of Marxism ideals applied to a largely agricultural society ultimately failed.
