The Significance of Yan 'an Conference in Yan 'an Conference

Yan 'an Meeting was an important meeting held in China on the eve of the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The meeting made important preparations for the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the whole nation of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At the same time, the meeting cleared up Zhang's mistakes and strengthened inner-party unity. Yan 'an Conference played a decisive and important role in thoroughly liquidating Zhang's mistakes, eliminating the influence of Zhang's line in the party and the army, and educating the whole party and the whole army, especially the commanders and fighters of the Red Fourth Front Army. Mao Zedong later pointed out that the Yan 'an meeting "opposed Zhang's right opportunism, United the Red Army, made the whole party more United, and waged a heroic anti-Japanese struggle."
