The Cultural Revolution, initiated by Mao Zedong in 1966, effectively ended with Mao's death in 1976. Following his passing, the Chinese Communist Party shifted towards a more pragmatic approach under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping. The arrest of the Gang of Four, who were key figures in perpetuating the revolution, in October 1976 further marked the end of the era, leading to a denouncement of the Cultural Revolution's excesses and a focus on economic reform.

The Cultural Revolution in China (1966-1976) was influenced by several 20th-century events, including the rise of communism after the 1949 Chinese Revolution, which established a one-party state and sought to eliminate traditional and bourgeois elements in society. Additionally, global movements such as the anti-colonial struggles and the countercultural movements of the 1960s played a role in shaping revolutionary ideas. The failure of the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), which resulted in widespread famine and economic turmoil, also contributed to Mao Zedong's desire to reassert his authority and revive revolutionary zeal.
