China's Second Five-Year Plan (1958-1962) aimed to rapidly industrialize the economy and improve agricultural output through collective farming and state control. In contrast, the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), which was part of this plan, sought to achieve an even more accelerated transformation by mobilizing the population to create large-scale communes and increase steel production. However, the Great Leap Forward led to widespread famine and economic disruption, resulting in millions of deaths, while the Second Five-Year Plan was more focused on structured economic development. Ultimately, the Great Leap Forward's radical approach proved disastrous compared to the more measured goals of the broader plan.
