In what ways did Mao Zedong try to rebuild China after WWII?
I heard he produced lots and lots of steel. Unfortunately, it was poor quality because producers were trying to make quota. He gathered up millions of farmers and had them live on communal farms. I imagine thousands of farmers living in crowded apartment complexes (tenements) and working on these huge farms.
How long did it take to rebuild Dresden after WW2 bombing?
From most sources I read they state that Dresden had been completely destroyed after the night raid on the nights of 13 February and 15 February 1945. Was the city really completely destroyed? Are there any buildings that still haven't been rebuilt? Like in UK cities such as Liverpool, Bristol, Coventry, London, Manchester etc there are still some buildings that stand as burned out shells.

How long did it take to rebuild Germany after WW2?
What became the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) recovered very quickly after the war mainly because they were fortunate enough to have found themselves under Allied control, particularly the USA, who put forward the Marshall Plan which funded a massive reconstruction of Germany, in order to give them a shot at having a viable economy by which a Democratic Government could be sustained over the long term. So within 10 years of the war’s end, the talk of the world was the German economic miracle. It would probably take another 10 years, for a total of 20 for Germany to reach par with the west, and would eventually become the leading economic power in Europe. Even though the Deutsche Demokratische Republik lagged behind West Germany in large part because it did not directly benefit from the Marshal Plan they did achieve one of the highest standards of living (rivalled only by Hungary and Czechoslovakia) in the Soviet Bloc because of a skilled work force, and the fact that the Soviets had to pour resources in there as well to keep up the illusion that socialism was the future, and avoid defections to the West. Nevertheless they could not even come close to keeping up, and ended up Walling off Berlin, and securing the borders in the rest of the country. Had there been no Marshall Plan, West Germany would have lagged behind the rest of Western Europe, and probably would not have had that much greater a standard of living as the East, and would have taken much longer to rebuild. That being said, The recovery of the German economy did help France, the UK, Italay and the US, insofar as the BRD became a viable market for western goods. It benefitted the East as well, insofar as the USSR had to help them rebuild to an extent.
How did Mao Zedong's government try to rebuild China after World War II?
Mao was a brutal dictator who killed millions and whose policies lead to the deaths of tens of millions. I don't know what this "great man" crap is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong
How long did it take to rebuild Warsaw, Poland once WW2 was over?
Well, that depends what state you think of as "rebuilt". For some, it has never been rebuilt, as Warsaw is still facing serious urban planning issues and plans made before the war have been altered dramatically.Most of the old city has been repaired by 1955, but the royal castle had to wait until the 70s.
How long did it take to rebuild the Pentagon after the 9/11 attack?
On September 11, 2001, a team of five al-Qaeda affiliated hijackers took control of American Airlines Flight 77, and deliberately crashed it into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. EDT as part of the September 11 attacks. All 64 people on the airliner were killed as well as 125 people who were in the building. The impact of the plane severely damaged the structure of the building and caused its partial collapse.[32] At the time of the attacks the Pentagon was under renovation and several offices were unoccupied, resulting in fewer casualties. Contractors already involved with the renovation were given the added task of rebuilding the sections damaged in the attacks. This additional project was named the "Phoenix Project", and was charged with having the outermost offices of the damaged section occupied by September 11, 2002. When the damaged section of the Pentagon was rebuilt, a small indoor memorial and chapel were included, located at the point of impact. For the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, a memorial of 184 beams of light shone up from the center courtyard of the Pentagon, one light for each victim of the attack. In addition, an American flag is hung each year on the side of the Pentagon damaged in the attacks, and the side of the building is illuminated at night with blue lights. After the attacks, plans were developed for an outdoor memorial, with construction underway in 2006. The Pentagon Memorial, which consists of a 2-acre (8,100 m2) park with 184 benches, according to the victims' ages, from 3 to 71, was opened to the public on September 11, 2008,
