Great Leap Forward

It was Mao Zedong’s campaign (1958–1962) of rapid collectivization and industrialization; disastrous policies (communal farms, inflated production reports, forced grain requisitions) plus poor weather led to the Great Chinese Famine, with deaths often estimated around 15–30 million (commonly cited ~20 million).
