The establishment of agricultural collectives that involved peasants sharing tools and draft animals and taking away private ownership of all farms. Farms became state-run communes. These plans were not popular, so the Chinese government held mandatory meetings where citizens were kept for days until they "voluntarily" agreed. Women were also given more rights, and foot-binding, child marriage, and opium addiction were put to an end. Grain and steel industrialization became key in the CPC's plan for economic development. People's communes, backyard steel furnaces in communes and urban areas, and irrigation became the norm. Villagers in the communes were unable to procure enough food to survive because they could no longer sell land as collateral for loans. However, these plans fell through and affected China for several years afterward. The Great Leap Forward of the People's Republic of China was an economic and social campaign by the Communist Party of China from 1958 to 1961. The campaign was led by Mao Zedong and aimed to rapidly transform the country from an agrarian economy into a socialist society through rapid industrialization and collectivization. However, it is widely considered to have caused the Great Chinese Famine. <span>Chief changes in the lives of rural Chinese included the incremental introduction of mandatory agricultural collectivization. Private farming was prohibited, and those engaged in it were persecuted and labeled counter-revolutionaries. Restrictions on rural people were enforced through public struggle sessions and social pressure, although people also experienced forced labor. Rural industrialization, officially a priority of the campaign, saw "its development... aborted by the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward." </span><span>The Great Leap ended in catastrophe, resulting in tens of millions of deaths, </span><span>estimated from 18 million to 32.5 or 45 million.Historian Frank Dikötter asserts that "coercion, terror, and systematic violence were the foundation of the Great Leap Forward" and it "motivated one of the most deadly mass killings of human history". </span><span>The years of the Great Leap Forward actually saw economic regression, with 1958 through 1962 being the only period between 1953 and 1985 in which China's economy shrank. Political economist Dwight Perkins argues, "enormous amounts of investment produced only modest increases in production or none at all. ... In short, the Great Leap was a very expensive disaster." </span><span>In subsequent conferences in March 1960 and May 1962, the negative effects of the Great Leap Forward were studied by the CPC, and Mao was criticized in the party conferences. Moderate Party members like Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping rose to power, and Mao was marginalized within the party, leading him to initiate the Cultural Revolution in 1966.</span>

The Great Leap Forward was a five-year economic plan executed by Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party, begun in 1958 and abandoned in 1961. The "Leap" resulted in 30–55 million deaths due to starvation, execution, and forced labor, along with massive economic and environmental destruction. The Great Leap Forward was the largest episode of mass killing in human history, and a clear example of the failures of socialism and economic central planning.

Which of the following are TRUE?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

1.- True

2.- False

3.- True

4.- False

5.- False

Explanation:

1. The Quebec Act of 1774 was a Great Britain's Parliament's act which set  governance guidelines for  Quebec Province.

The province's territory was expanded to take over part of the Indian Reserve, including much of what is now southern Ontario, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota.

After the 7 Years' War, Great Britain defeated France, and a s aconsequence, Peace was formally signed on the 1763 Treaty of Paris. According to this treaty, the Kingdom of France ceded New France to Britain, keeping instead the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique due to  their important production of sugar.

2. The British Army went out of Boston to capture leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington, they were also looking for destroying American Army's weapon store and ammunition in Concord. The colonists were warned however, by riders including Paul Revere, that the British Army was approaching.

3. The most important points he argued for, were:  (1) independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic.

4.   English Parliament’s decisions towards the colonists were taken as aggresions, giving rise to a more and more distant ideology between the colonist’s political, economic, and social ideas and those of the British. Colonists had developed a solid, new identity that helped foster resistance against Britain. However, Americans were not totally unified;  disorganization and uncertainty ruled. There existed some organizations which intended to influence as unification factors for the colonists, e.g. the Continental Congress, but rather than solid political groups they worked more as discussion forums, this meant their work took longer before agreeing or making drastic decisions. Furthermore, American resistance also had a conflict of interests. Many colonists were still in favor of the Crown and did not want to break away from Great Britain, and eve some of them refused to support the revolution, because they felt that a break with Britain would mean economic chaos - which probably was not far from reality.

5. Much of the colonial forces retreatment from the peninsula was possible due to the controlled withdrawn of the forces led by John Stark and Thomas Knowlton, which prevented the encirclement of the hill.  General Putnam tried to gather the troops once more on Bunker Hill, but colonial drawdown was so quick that artillery pieces and entrenching tools were left behind. The colonists suffered most of their casualties during the retreat on Bunker Hill. By 5 p.m., the colonists had already left to fortified positions, and the British were in control of the peninsula.
