How did China go from the communist revolution of 1949 to becoming one of the world's great powers today?

In this new episode of History on the Ground, we travel across China to explain one of the most important political, social, and economic transformations in contemporary history.

We begin with the fall of the old order and the victory of the revolution led by Mao Zedong, and then explore the main stages of the People's Republic of China: the construction of the new state, the great social transformations, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Mao's death, the reforms implemented during Deng Xiaoping's era, and the economic transformation that ultimately placed China at the center of the global economy.

A history of revolutions, conflicts, industrialization, reforms, and enormous social changes, explained from the very places where they happened.

🎥 History on the Ground is a series from The Cheese and the Worms in which we travel to the scenes of history to understand the major processes that have transformed our societies.
