The goal of Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward, launched in 1958, was to rapidly transform China from an agrarian society into a socialist society through rapid industrialization and collectivization. Mao aimed to increase agricultural and industrial output to surpass Western nations, primarily through large-scale communes and the mobilization of the peasantry. However, the campaign led to widespread famine, economic disruption, and millions of deaths, ultimately failing to achieve its ambitious objectives.
