The correct order of major events in China during the second half of the twentieth century is:

  1. Communists overthrow the Nationalists (1949) - This culminated in the establishment of the People's Republic of China.
  2. Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) - This was an effort to rapidly transform China into a socialist society.
  3. Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) - This was a sociopolitical movement aimed at preserving and enforcing Communist ideology.
  4. Deng Xiaoping’s economic modernization (late 1970s onward) - This phase included significant economic reforms and opening up to foreign investment and trade.
  5. Tiananmen Square protests (1989) - A pro-democracy protest that was met with a violent crackdown by the government.

Thus, the correct option is:

Communists overthrow the Nationalists; Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward; Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution; Deng Xiaoping’s economic modernization; Tiananmen Square protests.
