Born in 1893 to a peasant family in the Hunan province of China, Mao Zedong or "Chairman Mao" would become one of the most recognisable figures of the 20th century. After seizing power and turning China into a communist country, he would go on to lay the foundations of modern China by bringing them back up to speed with the western world. However this would come at the cost of enormous loss of life at the hands of a iron-fisted dictatorship. War Stories is your one-stop shop for all things military history.
