Cultural Revolution

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (shortened as the Cultural Revolution or GPCR) was a series of policies enacted by the Communist Party of China in order to eliminate bourgeois influence in China. This lasted from May 1966 until Mao's death in 1976. It was and continues to be highly controversial. It had some positives such as increased equality for Women and Youths but also led to political instability, violence and many deaths. The Current CCP considers it a mistake.[1]
