Long March  

Definition

  • The Long March (October 1934–October 1935) was the epic 6,000-mile flight of the Chinese Communists from their beleaguered bases in southeast China to safety in northwest China. After breaking through Nationalist leader Jiang Jieshi's (Chiang Kai-shek's) encircling armies, the Communist units marched for almost a year, averaging twenty-seven miles per day across hostile terrain, including mountain ranges, rivers, grasslands, and swamps.
