Detailed explanation-1: -Instead of stimulating the country’s economy, The Great Leap Forward resulted in mass starvation and famine. It is estimated that between 30 and 45 million Chinese citizens died due to famine, execution, and forced labor, along with massive economic and environmental destruction.
Detailed explanation-2: -From 1960–1962, an estimated thirty million people died of starvation in China, more than any other single famine in recorded human history. Most tragically, this disaster was largely preventable.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Great Chinese Famine was caused by a combination of radical agricultural policies, social pressure, economic mismanagement, and natural disasters such as droughts and floods in farming regions.
Detailed explanation-4: -GLF was a giant step backwards-poor planning and inefficient home industries hampered growth. Crop failures caused a famine that killed about 20 million people so the program was ended in 1961.
