'''Mao Zedong '''(December 26<sup>th</sup>, 1893 - September 9<sup>th</sup>, 1976), commonly known as '''Chairman Mao''', was the Communist Leader of the People's Republic of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976 and led the "Great Leap Forward" movement to break all traditions of Ancient China. His Cultural Revolution all but destroyed China's heritage.

A major player in the [[Cold War]], Mao is considered to be a pioneer of communism alongside [[Joseph Stalin]], developing his own brand of communism known as Maoism (also known as Mao Zedong Thought). He also pioneered the [[People's War]] strategy commonly used by many Communists in armed struggle.

Although many of Mao's campaigns, most notably The Great Leap Forward lead to the death of millions, many historians have pointed out that many of the deaths under Mao's regime were unintentional unlike many of the deaths under [[Nazi Party|Nazi Germany]] or the Soviet Union. He is widely considered one of the most polarizing and controversial figures in recent history, many regard him as a capable and necessary leader who improved health care, women's rights and industrialized China and see many of his campaigns as taking significant risks, while in contrast his critics have drawn comparisons between him and dictators such as [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[Adolf Hitler]] due to his radically destructive and neglectful polices against his own people. Some estimates say that between 30 million-80 million people in total died under his regime and for this reason he is considered by some historians to be ''the'' most brutal dictator in history.
