which of the following best analyzes the reason why mao zedong implemented the cultural revolution? (1 point)
○ mao implemented the cultural revolution to modernize agriculture in china.
○ mao implemented the cultural revolution because china could not trade agricultural products for heavy machinery for industrialization.
○ mao implemented the cultural revolution to regain control of the communist party after the failures of the great leap forward.
○ mao implemented the cultural revolution to industrialize china.

Explanation:

The Great Leap Forward was a failed economic and social campaign. After its failure, Mao Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution. The main goal was to regain his control over the Communist Party and re - establish his ideological influence. Modernizing agriculture was more related to the Great Leap Forward (in theory, though it failed). Industrialization was also a goal of the Great Leap Forward. The idea of not being able to trade agricultural products for heavy machinery for industrialization is not the main reason for the Cultural Revolution.

Answer:

Mao implemented the Cultural Revolution to regain control of the Communist Party after the failures of the Great Leap Forward.
