Question

Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward rapidly transformed China from an agrarian economy into a modern industrial society. Which of these was a NEGATIVE effect of this program?

Answer 1

Answer:

Overall, the great leap forward caused a massive death that is even considered to be a genocide by some. It isn't always completely understood the death toll that came from it. Deaths range from 18 - 45 million dead. The inaccuracy can be summed up to the Chinese government covering up the numbers, as to avoid criticism. The thing that killed all those farmers was famine caused by a lack of food stored for those millions.
