Great Leap Forward
The Great Leap Forward was the name given to the Second Five Year Plan, though the name is now generally limited to the first three years of this period.
Mao advocated that a further round of collectivisation was necessary in the Chinese countryside where the existing collectives would be merged into huge People's communes.
Mao saw grain and steel production as the key pillars of economic development. He forecast that within 15 years of the start of the Great Leap, China's steel production would surpass that of the UK.
It is now widely seen, both within China and outside, as a major economic disaster, effectively being a "Great Leap Backward" that would affect China in the years to come.
