Who are the communist and nationalist leaders after world war 2?

After World War II, prominent communist leaders included Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union, who expanded his influence over Eastern Europe, and Mao Zedong in China, who led the Communist Party to victory in the Chinese Civil War in 1949. On the nationalist front, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru played key roles in India’s struggle for independence from British rule, while nationalists in various other countries sought self-determination, often in opposition to colonial powers. In the Middle East, figures such as Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt emerged as significant nationalist leaders advocating for Arab unity and independence.
