The Chinese Soviet Republic (CSR) was a provisional state organized by the Communist Party of China. The CSR was proclaimed by CPC leaders Zhu De and Mao Zedong in November of 1931, during the early Chinese Civil War. Mao Zedong was appointed as prime minister of the state, which gave him significant experience in fields such as mobile warfare. This experience was useful to the eventual reunification and reorganization of the People's Republic of China.

Dissolution

In December 1937, the Chinese Soviet Republic was renamed to the Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region.
