What was the Great Famine?

Directions: Answer the Questions below (in your packet) by reading the secondary source below.

  1. Who are they blaming for the death of over 40 million? Considering that WWII killed 80 million, was the Great Leap Forward a success?
  2. Worldwide we still do not know about the exact numbers of people who died during the famine in China from 1958-1960 that killed over 30 million Chinese. Why do you think Mao and his party have tried to keep the details secret?
