Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893 - September 9, 1976) was a Chinese revolutionary and politician, commonly known as Chairman Mao (or simply Mao).
The first leader of the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China. Partially Unified China after 35 years of civil war and Japanese occupation.
Infamous for the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution policies which resulted in tens of millions of Chinese people deaths. Died in the mid 70s right after making peace with the US, just in time for Deng Xiaoping to take his place.
