Answer 2

China's agricultural policies during the Great Leap Forward led to crop failures, causing famine that killed millions of people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Leap Forward was a campaign launched by Mao Zedong between 1958 and 1960, which sought to make the People's Republic of China a developed and socially equitable nation in record time, accelerating the collectivization of the countryside through forced Agrarian Reform, and urban industrialization. However it is considered responsible for the Chinese Famine.

Historians believe that the Great Leap Forward has resulted in tens of millions of deaths. A conservative estimate is 18 million deaths, but other studies suggest that the death toll was closer to 55.6 million.

The Great Leap Forward is still used today as a criticism of the model of planned economy, communism, and agrarian reform.
