Support from the Soviets.

The USSR occupied Japanese-held Manchuria in 1945, handed over captured Japanese arms and bases, and permitted Communist expansion there—giving the CCP a crucial military and logistical advantage. The Communists did not control major cities, lacked backing from wealthy elites, and generally had less modern weaponry than the Nationalists.
