Still...I never would've imagined that!!!! Time to apply for statehood, Los Angeles, LOL!

So, how did Mao Zedong — the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party from 1943–1976 — kill so many people? A big part of it was due to his Great Leap Forward program, which aimed to turn China from an agrarian nation into an industrialized one...fast. Way too fast. As a result, as many as 45 million starved, fueled by Mao's refusal to acknowledge what was happening or to accept international aid.
