=== First Phase (1917 - 1941) ===
This period saw the development of Marxist-Leninism in the [[USSR]] (1922) and [[Socialist Mongolia|Mongolia]] (1924) and the isolation of these countries as they fought their revolutions and pursued independent industrial development, which was highly successful in the USSR. The phase ended with the entry of the USSR into [[World War II]], which led to the development of a war economy and the near destruction of the USSR at the hands of [[Nazi Germany]].
 
=== Second Phase (1941 - 1959) ===
This phase saw the defeat of Nazi Germany and the Japanese Empire at the hands of the USSR and the beginnings of the Cold War. The USSR helped set up Marxist-Leninist governments (by supporting local parties and/or revolutions) in Eastern Europe and Asia, notably Yugoslavia (1943), Poland (1945), Albania (1946), Bulgaria (1946), Romania (1947), Czechoslovakia (1948), East Germany (1949), Hungary (1949), [[China]] (1949) and North Korea (1950), later Cuba joined the club in 1959.
 
=== Third Phase (1960 - 1973) ===
This phase saw the massive growth of Marxist-Leninist organisations that did not take power like the Naxalites, Red Army Faction and Japanese Red Army.
 
=== Fourth Phase (1974 - 1988) ===
This period saw the rapid rise of Marxist-Leninist governments in Africa and Asia, with notable revolutions in Ethiopia (1974), Benin (1975), Angola (1975), Cambodia (1975), Laos (1975), Vietnam (1975), Mozambique (1975), Afghanistan (1978), Nicaragua (1979) and Grenada (1979). Marxist-Leninism peaking in August and September 1983 when Marxist-Leninists had full control of 30 governments. Public support for Marxist-Leninism also peaked around this time as numerous [[Terrorism|terrorist]] and revolutionary groups formed to try and overthrow their governments, with very little success.
 
During this period, the first two collapses of Marxist-Leninist governments in history occurred. In 1983, the [[US Invasion of Grenada|US invaded Grenada]] after taking advantage of an internal power struggle, and in 1987 the [[Timeline of US Imperialism|US]], [[Timeline of French Imperialism|France]] and [[Socialist Libya|Libya]] worked together to oust the [[Socialist Burkina Faso|Marxist-Leninist government of Burkina Faso]]. This would become a dark foreshadowing of what is to come.
 
=== Fifth Phase (1989 - 1992) ===
The fifth phase signaled the collapse of the majority of Marxist-Leninist governments and the continuation of the abandoning of command economies in favour of market economies which coincided with a [[Revolutions of 1986 - 1995|global revolutionary wave]] against [[authoritarianism]] and the rise of [[neoliberalism]] and [[Representative Democracy|representative democracy]]. The only Marxist-Leninist governments to have survived the fifth phase are in [[China]], [[Vietnam]], [[Cuba]], [[North Korea]] and [[Laos]].
 
=== Sixth Phase (1993 - Present) ===
With the majority of Marxist-Leninist governments gone, the remaining five have managed to survive until the present day, with all engaging in market reforms except North Korea. Most of the world's Marxist-Leninist groups either fell apart, dismantled themselves, or switched to [[Libertarian Socialism|libertarian socialism]] (like the precursors to the EZLN and the PKK) or [[Social Democracy|social democracy]].

* Marxist-Leninist regimes consistently oppose elections, freedom of media and often result in above average amounts of environmental destruction and shortages of consumer goods. However, they tend to develop good educational and healthcare systems and expand women's rights.
