  Two dimensional massless Quantum Chromodynamics presents many features which
resemble those of the true theory. In particular the spectrum consists of
mesons and baryons arranged in flavor multiplets without parity doubling. We
analyze the implications of chiral symmetry, which is not spontaneously broken
in two dimensions, in the spectrum and in the quark condensate. We study how
parity doubling, an awaited consequence of Coleman's theorem, is avoided due to
the dimensionality of space-time and confinement. We prove that a chiral phase
transition is not possible in the theory.
