The Anti-Japanese War was a national war of liberation that won a complete victory for the first time in nearly a century in China. It reversed the situation of repeated setbacks that the Chinese resisted the aggression of the Great Powers since the 1840 Opium War, and washed the shame of nation since the 1840s. The triumph of the Anti-Japanese War became a historical turning point of Chinese Nation's rejuvenation.

In this period, the first mature and stable generation of leading collective formed, which the core of leadership was Mao Ze-dong.The establishment of Mao Ze-dong's leading core status inside the Chinese Communist Party was inextricably linked with the Anti-Japanese War. During the Anti-Japanese War, along with the CCP from exclusionism to establishing a broad united front, well adapting to the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, Mao Ze-dong's leadership position inside the Party underwent after the ups and downs . He was in a severe blow during the local war period, almost without authority in the state; He rose abruptly in the long march. After promoting the three main forces of the Red Army to join forces, Mao Ze-dong gained the popular trust, and he was elected chairman of the Central Military Commission for the first time. In directly guiding the war of resistance against aggression in the enemy's rear area, depending on outstanding military talent, Mao Ze-dong consolidated CMC chairman's position, to lay a solid foundation of the leading core status inside the CCP. During promoting and consolidating the Anti-Japanese National United Front, he demonstrated extraordinary political wisdom. Mao Ze-dong's political abilities were recognized by the whole Party and Communist International. So his core leadership inside the Party initially formed. In the complicate environment and struggle practice of the Anti-Japanese War, Mao Ze-dong greatly promoted the development of Marxism in china and created the first theoretical achievement of Marxism in China: Mao Zedong Thought obtained development and became mature. The whole Party had a deep understanding of what was Marxism and Mao Ze-dong's theoretical contribution to Marxism. The whole Party unprecedentedly united on the basis of Mao Zedong Thought; Mao Zedong Thought was established as the Party's guiding ideology and was written into the Party's Constitution to meet the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and new democratic revolution in the country to lay a political and ideological foundation.
