Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Communist Party movement in China]
Notes:- Long March refers to the March of Communists to evade persecution. It refers to the transfer of the main group of the First (or Central) Red Army, which included the leaders of the Communist Party of China, from Yudu in the province of Jiangxi to Yan’an in Shaanxi. It resulted in the relocation of the communist revolutionary base from south-eastern to north-western China and in the emergence of Mao Zedong as the undisputed party leader.
- The Yan’an Rectification Movement also known as Zhengfeng or Cheng Feng, was the first ideological mass movement initiated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), going from 1942 to 1945. The movement took place at the communist base at Yan’an, a remote and isolated mountainous area in northern Shaanxi, after the communists’ Long March.
