Answer:

Following a trail blazed by Lewis and Clark, most of these people had left their homes in the East in search of economic opportunity. Like Thomas Jefferson, many of these pioneers associated westward migration, land ownership and farming with freedom. In Europe, large numbers of factory workers formed a dependent and seemingly permanent working class; by contrast, in the United States, the western frontier offered the possibility of independence and upward mobility for all. In 1843, one thousand pioneers took to the Oregon Trail as part of the “Great Emigration.”  Then in 1848 The California Gold Rush was sparked. By the discovery of gold nuggets in the Sacramento Valley, and was arguably one of the most significant events to shape American history during the first half of the 19th century. As news spread of the discovery, thousands of prospective gold miners traveled by sea or over land to San Francisco and the surrounding area; by the end of 1849, the non-native population of the California territory was some 100,000 (compared with the pre-1848 figure of less than 1,000). A total of $2 billion worth of precious metal was extracted from the area during the Gold Rush, which peaked in 1852.   .

The graph shows the death rates in some Chinese provinces during the Great Leap Forward. On the basis of the graph, in what year
babymother [125]

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.
