Collectivisation of Agriculture (农业集体化) 1953-1958

Collectivisation of Agriculture (农业集体化) 1953-1958

After land redistribution to peasants was completed, the Chinese Government began a process moving towards the collective ownership and management of agricultural resources. This resulted in the emergence of people's communes where all aspects of life, from canteens to schools, were managed by committees in an attempt to both increase production and further spread communist ideology.
