General Secretary Joseph Stalin
The plan aims to upgrade the manufacturing capabilities of Chinese industries, growing from labor-intensive workshops into a more technology-intensive powerhouse. The goals of Made in China 2025 include increasing the Chinese-domestic content of core materials to 40 percent by 2020 and 70 percent by 2025.
Specific goals of economic development set out in the Plan were: To increase gross national industrial and agricultural output by 38% within five years, or by an average annual rate of 6.7%, gross agricultural output by 4% a year, and gross industrial output by 7.5%.
The First Five-Year Plan was one of the most important, because it had a great role in the launching of Indian development after Independence. Thus, it strongly supported agriculture production and also launched the industrialization of the country (but less than the Second Plan, which focused on heavy industries).
Joseph Stalin, in 1928, launched the first Five-Year Plan; it was designed to industrialize the USSR in the shortest possible time and, in the process, to expedite the collectivization of farms.
The Great Leap Forward (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Dàyuèjìn) was a plan that was created to increase China's economy and industry. The Great Leap Forward failed to bring industrialization and the famine that it created killed millions of people. Some people think it to be the biggest famine in history.
The First Five Year Plan (1951 -56) aimed getting the country out of the cycle of poverty. Its thrust was on agrarian sector including investment in dams because the agricultural sector was hit hardest by Partition and needed immediate attention.
At the start of the 1930s, Stalin launched a wave of radical economic policies that completely overhauled the industrial and agricultural face of the Soviet Union. This came to be known as the Great Turn as Russia turned away from the near-capitalist New Economic Policy (NEP) and instead adopted a command economy.
Five year plans were comprehensive and centrally planned economic plans to achieve rapid industrialization of the economy. These plans ensure that the countries resources were put to the most efficient use. These plans enabled Russia and China to achieve rapid industrialization in short term.
Targets were met within four years. Yet the rapid industrialisation and collectivisation resulted in the Great Famine of 1932-1933. The Second Five Year Plan 1933- 1938 concentrated on water, road and rail transport. The quality of goods made improved, as did communications, vastly improve by more reliable rail.
In the first five year plan for example Stalin demanded 200% increase in Iron production, and 335% increase in electrical power. Firstly Russia was turned into a modern state which could resist Hitlers invasion. Secondly after the five year plans, there was geniune Communist enthusiasm among the Russian people.
Which best describes the management of farms in China during the first Five-Year Plan? Farms were privately owned by families and controlled by the government.
In 1972, the Gang of Four rose to power and the Cultural Revolution continued. After Mao's death and the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1976, the Cultural Revolution finally came to an end.
Which best explains how the policies of the Great Leap Forward led to the Cultural Revolution? China's party leaders introduced capitalist ideas after the Great Leap Forward, prompting Mao Zedong to call for a revolution. The charts show coal and steel production during China's first Five-Year Plan.
