Cultural revolution

Here are facts that I found that could be helpful to my project:-

• Mao’s attempt to reassert his beliefs in China
• feared that others in the party might be taking more of a leader role
• youths were also encouraged to openly criticise the liberals in the Chinese Communist Party and those apparently influenced by Nikita Khruschev of the USSR.
• Red Guards (groups of youths who banded themselves together) encouraged all the youth in China to criticise those who Mao deemed untrustworthy with regards to the direction he wanted China to take.
• Mao had witnessed the removal of a potential rival in the party and therefore saw no need for the Cultural Revolution to continue
