DOES severe famine ALWAYS precede Marxist/Communist/Fascist REVOLUTION by about 5 years?

The Nationalist government was corrupt, Chiang Kai-Shek's planned to modernise Chinese industries through uplifting the wealthy upper classes and providing private incentives to invest in government plans. Obviously officials within the government became susceptible to corruption. Much of Chiang's industrialisation efforts were made possible through heavily borrowing from foreign nations, a debt the common, poor masses in China inherited through heavy taxation.

In the public's eyes the government was stealing the money of the already impoverished into their already stuffed pockets. In Chiang's haste to appease the higher classes and foreign powers, he adversely alienated himself from, and unrelentingly exploited and suppressed the people he was supposed to represent. Why?

Because Chiang didn't take public opinions seriously, his method of rule was autocratic and authoritarian, he mostly simply used military force to repel public dissent, which in turn generated more dissent against the repressive government. The actions of corrupt private companies didn't help either - influential financial families with ties to the house of Chiang were secretly stockpiling vital goods in a bid to increase public demand and up the selling price to the desperate masses. These blatant illegal activities went unpunished as the families involved were close to Chiang, and Chiang continued to rely on the patronage of these financial giants to add to his governmental coffer.

Society was suffering, classes dividing, the general public perceived the Nationalist government as a failed reform, whose inevitable fall to corruption lies at the very heart of capitalist ideologies, hence why the people turned to communism in masses, in the hope of a more equal society.......

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
