Answer:
The correct answer is C. On the basis of the graph, China called off the Great Leap Forward in 1960.
Explanation:
The Great Leap Forward was an economic and social program supported by the People's Republic of China from 1958 to 1961. Its purpose was to transform a peasant society into a modern one in the shortest time possible. Mao based this plan on the theory of production.
After the Communist regime took over in China in 1949, land was immediately confiscated and allocated to poor farmers. Within the Communist Party, it was debated whether it was best for the state to be industrialized first and changes to the agricultural system gradually made, or whether it was best to finance the inhabitation by the state immediately taking over all agriculture. From 1949-58, co-farming was gradually established in increasing units. By 1958, all property rights in China had been abolished.
The Chinese government worked on five-year plans like the Soviet Union. The second five-year plan was introduced in 1958-63, the Great Leap Forward. The aim was to make rapid changes and improvements in agriculture and industry. This was to happen with large-scale migration, social equality, and less bureaucracy.
The Chinese government abolished the Great Leap Forward plan in 1961., as it had failed abruptly, causing famine and disasters that caused the deaths of between 18 to 55 million people.
