"The 20th century was one of worldwide revolution. Every continent experienced at least one revolution during this time, and these greatly affected the world as we know it today. Two revolutions - the Chinese Communist Revolution of 1949 and the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979 - were particularly important. Both of these revolutions introduced new elements of change to nations dominated at the time by pro-Western influences. Mao empowered the rural peasantry in China to rise up against the Kuomintang elite and to seek a utopian and egalitarian Socialist society."
