Answer 1

Mao's communist policies had a significant impact on China. The Great Leap Forward, which aimed to rapidly industrialize China, resulted in widespread famine and millions of deaths. The Cultural Revolution, initiated by Mao to reassert control over the Communist Party and Chinese society, led to widespread chaos, violence, and the destruction of many cultural artifacts. Mao’s policies also resulted in the suppression of dissent and the establishment of a totalitarian regime, with severe restrictions on individual freedoms. Despite these negative impacts, Mao's policies also brought about some positive changes, such as the acquisition of Taiwan as a province and a renewed sense of Chinese culture and nationalism.
