The Great Leap Forward was an economic and social campaign by the Communist Party of China lead by Mao Zedong from 1958 to 1962. The campaign aimed to rapidly transform the country from an agriculutral economy into a socialist society by quick industrialization and collectivization. These policies lead to social and economical disaster but were hidden behind deceitful reports. The Communist Party diverted resources that were for the agricultural sector and send them to be used in the construction of a new and expensive industrial sector, but it failed in production at the scale commensurable with the population and as a result there was a drastic decline in food which caused millons of deaths.
The private farming was forbidden and those who denied were labeled as counter-revolutionaries and sent to prison.
The main result of the Great Leap Forward was millons of deaths, according to the historians the numbers are between 18 millons upto 56 millons of chinese citizens that lost their lives.
