Why was the Great Leap Forward significant?

Sagot :

Answer:

It was significant because it was a disaster

Explanation:

After Mao won the Chinese civil war, he knew he had to move from an agricultural based economy to an industrial one. And so he did this by signing the great leap forward which forced everyone to work 24/7 without food and would be introduced with harsh quotas if they didn't work. This saw the death of 40-80 million Chinese people (A lot of results say 15 mil, 55mil, and more, but that's the best result I could find about how many people died during the great leap forward).
