French Revolution's Reign of Terror.
The Great Cultural Revolution began, China formally backed Vietnam and Chinese-Soviet relations began to divide.
Louis XVI (he who was beheaded during the French revolution) had himself very little impact on his country apart from being there when the revolution broke out. Should you mean Louis XIV ( the "Sun King"): he had a big impact on his country in that he made it the most powerful on the European continent, but he did not radically alter its cultural, social or economic orientation, which is something Peter the Great did do.

A radical movement that closed schools and slowed production, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution virtually severed China's relations with the outside world. It was proletarian because it was a revolution of the workers against party officials. It was cultural because it meant to alter the values of society in the Communist sense. It was great, because it was on a mammoth scale. It lasted for two years in its intense form, lingered on for another year and a half, and was not officially declared over until 1977.
Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution
the cultural revolution
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was a mass movement launched in 1966, to remould society and reactivate Communist ideals. Ultimately ... it was little more than a power struggle between Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Communist Party and his political rivals. For many it signified a loss of tradition, and a loss of their career, hope and trust. Many people lost their lives.
The Cultural Revolution was intended to smash the old society and establish a new socialist society.
Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution
The death and destruction of millions of people was one result of Mao's Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution campaigns. Another was having communism discredited.
A movement of great upheaval is generally known as a revolution. The Cultural Revolution of China began in 1966 and was led by Mao Zedong.
The Cultural Revolution was launched by Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong during his last decade in power.
Mao Zedong
In August, 1966, Mao Zedong called for the start of a Cultural Revolution at the Plenum of the Communist Central Committee. He urged the creation of corps of "Red Guards" to punish party officials and any other persons who showed bourgeois tendencies. These sessions often included physical violence, and many of the accused died or ended up being held in reeducation camps for years. Mao likely was motivated to call for the so-called Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in order to rid the Chinese Communist Party of his opponents after the tragic failure of his Great Leap Forward policies. Mao knew that other party leaders were planning to marginalize him, so he appealed directly to his supporters among the people to join him in a Cultural Revolution. He also believed that communist revolution had to be a continuous process, in order to stave off capitalist-roader ideas.
