To answer this question, we can break it down into two parts: understanding the concept of the Great Leap Forward and identifying the plan for industrialization that preceded it.
The Great Leap Forward was a socio-economic campaign led by Mao Zedong, the Chairman of the Communist Party of China, from 1958 to 1962. Its aim was to transform China from an agrarian society into an industrialized socialist country.
To determine the plan for industrialization that preceded the Great Leap Forward, we need to look at the historical context of China during that time. Mao Zedong's leadership saw several initiatives and campaigns, but only a specific plan would be associated with industrialization.
Here are the options given:
A. Five Year Plan: The Five Year Plan was an economic development strategy introduced by the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. While China did adopt a series of Five Year Plans, they were not specifically tied to the Great Leap Forward.
B. The Great Revolution: There is no widely recognized plan called the Great Revolution associated with Mao Zedong's leadership or industrialization in China.
C. The Cultural Revolution: The Cultural Revolution was a political movement initiated by Mao Zedong in 1966. It aimed to remove bourgeois elements from Chinese society and reestablish Mao's ideological dominance. However, it was not a plan for industrialization.
D. The Great Purge: The Great Purge, also known as the Great Terror, refers to a period of intense political repression under Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union during the 1930s. It is not directly related to Mao Zedong or China's industrialization plans.
Based on these options, the correct answer is A. Five Year Plan. The Great Leap Forward followed a series of Five Year Plans that were implemented in China.
To summarize, the Great Leap Forward began following the implementation of the Five Year Plans for industrialization in China.
