Title

The Cultural Revolution (文化大革命)

Description

The Cultural Revolution was borne out of a power struggle between Mao and reformers in the Chinese Communist Party who allowed for elements of private business to boost the Chinese economy in the wake of the Great Leap Forward famine. The Cultural Revolution required that Chinese have complete devotion to Mao with churches, Buddhist temples and many antiquities being destroyed.
