During the Long March, Mao was established as the leader of the Communist Party. He was singled out as the strongest at the time. After the failure of Otto Braun, due to his lack of original tactics, Mao was chosen as the successor to leadership despite the fact that Mao himself had been replaced by Braun as leader of the first army in 1931. Members of the Red Army marched with Mao. He used twisting, moving patterns and split up the army into smaller groups which were harder to track. Mao led the first of the armies to reach the final destination despite how hard the journey was. Their lives were spared, therefore Mao made them feel like heroes. Therefore, Mao had proved himself along the Long March, enabling his power to be cemented as the leader of the CCP. This shows the significance of the Long March in establishing power in 1949.
