1 Episode 21: The Heiress Who Helped End School Segregation 35:10
Sarah Paine Episode 3: How Mao Conquered China
Manage episode 464021194 series 2744974
Third and final episode in the Paine trilogy!
Chinese history is full of warlords constantly challenging the capital. How could Mao not only stay in power for decades, but not even face any insurgency?
And how did Mao go from military genius to peacetime disaster - the patriotic hero who inflicted history’s worst human catastrophe on China? How can someone shrewd enough to win a civil war outnumbered 5 to 1 decide "let's have peasants make iron in their backyards" and "let's kill all the birds"?
In her lecture and our Q&A, we cover the first nationwide famine in Chinese history; Mao's lasting influence on other insurgents; broken promises to minorities and peasantry; and what Taiwan means.
Thanks so much to @Substack for running this in-person event!
Note that Sarah is doing an AMA over the next couple days on Youtube; see the pinned comment.
