The Cultural Revolution was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1996 through 1976. Set in motion by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to enforce socialism in the country by removing capitalist, traditional and cultural elements from the Chinese society and to impose Maoist orthodoxy within the party.
