Just a few years after World War II concluded, the Communists succeeded in taking power in China for two general reasons. First, their Nationalist opponents were notoriously corrupt and disorganized, as well as aristocratic in outlook and practice. Second, they themselves were very well-organized and, perhaps most importantly, genuinely sympathetic toward and respectful of the oppressed lower classes of China, who came out in support of Communism in response to this positive treatment.
There are a number of factors involved in the communist take-over of China. The previous imperial government of China had been fatally weakened by centuries of European colonialism and interference, and was given a death blow by the Japanese invasion during WW II. The communists were heavily backed by the USSR, which was at that time trying to spread communism everywhere on Earth. The main opposition to the communists was the conservative Kuo Min Tang, which however was a deeply corrupt organisation whose crimes made them widely hated by the Chinese people who had no idea that the coming crimes of Mao Tse Tung would be far more horrible.
