- The goal
- The cultural revolution = 1966-1976
- Mao's position
- he resigned as president in 1959
- he remained chairman for the CCP
- Reasons for =
- mao's position was weak - he wanted to defeat opponents and regain his political supermacy
- mao hated the the development of the CCP - chinese culture had to change
- education needed to be more revolutionary and less academic
- The red guards =
- mao told young students of china to form themselves into the 'red guards'
- there was a small group that embraced the cult of mao and the revolution
- they were formed to struggle against teachers - but soon took on a larger role
- they were supported by the PLA
- they were violent and brutal - attacked and killed teachers
- Impacts =
- factories were re-organised to give power to the workers - all wages were eqal
- technicians were dismissed and production fell - transport ground to a halt
- education was hugely disrupted - students had to learn from factory workers and peasants by work experience
- some schools were shut for 2 years
- markets and resurants closed in villages
- peasants land was taken away from them again
- opponents for killed or sent into exile
- Moderates (took over CCP from Mao) = Deng, Liu and Zhou
- Radicals (in charge of cultural revolution) = Mao, Lin Biao and Jiang Qing
- Cult of mao = his supporters
- 'Up to the mountains and down to the villages' =
- a campaign that encouraged young people to move to the country to learn the lifestyle of the peasants
- followed the purge of the red guards in '68
- why =
- to send to remaining red guards to where less disruption could be caused
- to minimise unemployment levels in the cities
- to increase control over the red guards
- outcomes =
- young people questioned mao's ideas and authority
- the peasants showed some resistance to the scheme because it put more pressure on their food supply
