The Great Leap Forward, initiated by Mao Zedong in 1958, aimed to rapidly transform China from an agrarian society into an industrialized socialist nation. It involved the collectivization of agriculture into large communes and the mobilization of the rural population for mass industrial projects, including backyard steel production. However, the campaign led to widespread inefficiencies, poor planning, and a significant decline in agricultural output, resulting in a devastating famine that caused millions of deaths. Ultimately, the Great Leap Forward was deemed a catastrophic failure, leading to a reassessment of economic policies in China.
