How did Mao manage to kill ~78 million people?
Can you explain what the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution were?
The Great Leap Forward was Mao's campaign to rapidly industrialize China and increase agricultural output, which resulted in a widespread famine that caused millions of deaths. The Cultural Revolution was Mao's attempt to remove political rivals and intellectuals from positions of power by mobilizing the youth and encouraging them to engage in violent "struggle sessions".
