Scenarios about 'Great Leap Forward'
The Great Leap Forward was an economic and social campaign launched by Mao Zedong from 1958 to 1962 aimed at rapidly transforming China from an agrarian economy into an industrialized communist society. This disastrous initiative resulted in widespread famine and the deaths of an estimated 15-45 million people due to food shortages, overambitious industrial policies, and agricultural mismanagement. In alternate history scenarios, the Great Leap Forward often represents a critical divergence point for Chinese development and Cold War dynamics.
