Roy · Answer 1

D. The Cultural Revolution

Explanation:

In 1966, China's Communist head Mao Zedong propelled what wound up known as the Cultural Revolution so as to reassert his power over the Chinese government. Accepting that present Communist pioneers were taking the gathering, and China itself, off course, Mao approached the country's childhood to cleanse the "debased" components of Chinese society and restore the progressive soul that had prompted triumph in the common war 20 years sooner and the development of the People's Republic of China. The Cultural Revolution proceeded in different stages until Mao's passing in 1976, and its tormented and fierce inheritance would resound in Chinese governmental issues and society for quite a long time to come.
