The '''Great Leap Forward''' (1958 to 1961) was a campaign to nationalize industry and agriculture in [[China]], instituted by Chinese dictator [[Mao Zedong]], which included collectivizing farmland. Peasants were forced to produce steel in backyard furnaces to raise China's steel output. The whole ill-conceived venture resulted in widespread famine, economic disaster and what modern Chinese history refers to as '''Three Years of Disasters'''. The [[Communist]] inspired [[democide]] resulted in the deaths of approximately 30 million people.
