Title A name given to the resource The Great Leap Forward (大跃进) Description An account of the resource The ‘Great Leap Forward’ is a term used to denote Mao’s Second Five Year Plan which was anticipated to run from 1958-1963. The main impetus behind the Great Leap was to ‘catch-up’ with the industrialised economies of the West and transform China into a collectivised society based on socialist principles. The Great Leap equally emerged from Mao’s Anti-Rightist campaign as a re-assertion of his authority in the wake of the Hundred Flowers Movement which allowed criticism of the regime. Whilst the first five-year plan certainly succeeded in forging economic growth, the subsequent great leap was overambitious, triggering the greatest famine in human history. The plan was abandoned in 1961.

Description An account of the resource Whilst Taiwan was portrayed as an economic backwater by the CCP during the Great Leap Forward, Chiang Kai-Shek refuted this during the Great Famine by airdropping grain supplies to mainland China. Aware the nation was in crisis, Chiang also hatched plans to invade the mainland but these never came to fruition, mainly due to a lack of US support. Taiwan would soon begin to focus its energies on economic development rather than the hope of a Nationalist reunification. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.
