Long March
In Chinese history, the 10,000-km/6,000-mi trek undertaken from 1934 to 1935 by Mao Zedong and his communist forces from southeast to northwest China, under harassment from the Guomindang (nationalist) army.
Some 100,000 communists left Mao's first headquarters in Jiangxi province in October 1934, and only 8,000 lasted the journey to arrive about a year later in Shanxi, which became their new base. The march cemented Mao Zedong's control of the movement.
