The '''Cultural Revolution''' was a disastrous [[leftwing]] attempt to reform the economics, education, and politics of Communist China, which led to the deaths of tens of millions of people. The upheaval began in August 1966 by [[Chinese Communist Party]] Chairman [[Mao Zedong]], amid his paranoia that career politicians were taking over the communist party.
