3 The Great Leap Forward The Great Leap Forward happened in 1863 to Mao Zedong was the leader of the Great Leap Forward. He created the Great Leap Forward to modernize China’s economy so that by 1988 China would have a economy that rivaled America.

The Great Leap Forward was made. In 1958 Chinese people were to go all out in a concerted effort to surpass England. In 15 years and to make the transitions to communism, at the same time leaving the soviet union. In 1958 the Great Leap Forward took action. The Chinese people tried to take over Americas economy. So they could stop people from starving. The Great Leap Forward was important to history. In conclusion, Mao failed. His attempt to modernize China’s economy it failed. He made wrong decision.

That students crowded into central Beijing to protest for a greater democracy, and call for of a greater resignation a Chinese communist party. That is some stuff about the Tiananmen Square. In conclusion the Tiananmen Square was a sad place. Not only was the Tiananmen Square lead by students but it was lead by intellectuals too. It was started by the death of a party official. All the people died because the communist party came in, and the army was there and so was the tanks and guns.
