1. Japan was in a position of power over China during WW1 because they were more industrialized and also they had a stronger military. This enabled the Japanese mindset for their move into Manchuria because they felt more confident about themselves and also they knew they had a stronger military.
2. Communism was so appealing to the masses in China because of propaganda and other means. Mao Ze Dong lead the Communist Party in the battle against the KMT in the Chinese Civil War. Mao gained much of his support from the Long March because people were impressed with him.
3. The Cultural Revolution was a period of widespread social and political upheaval from 1966 through 1976. It was started by Mao Ze Dong. I think he labeled the "Cultural Revolution" as such, even though the events didn't really warrant it because he wanted it to sound like something good was going to come out of it. This time period can compare to The Great Purge because many died and also it was an upheaval.
