question 13
what was the primary goal of mao zedongs great leap forward campaign (1958-1962)?
to establish a democratic political system
to rapidly transform china from an agrarian economy to an industrialized nation
to decrease chinas population growth
to improve relations with the united states

Explanation:

The Great Leap Forward (1958 - 1962) was a campaign led by Mao Zedong. Its main aim was to rapidly industrialize China and transform it from an agrarian - based economy. Establishing a democratic political system was not its goal (China already had a socialist political system framework). Decreasing population growth was not related to this campaign, and improving relations with the US was not a focus of the Great Leap Forward. So the correct option is the one about transforming China from an agrarian to an industrialized nation.

Answer:

B. To rapidly transform China from an agrarian economy to an industrialized nation
