In two years 15 million people died from famine in China.
Explanation:
The Great Chinese Famine marked the period between 1959 and 1961 as one of the most horrendous in the history of China.
The famine claimed around 15 million lives. Mao Zedong, the then communist ruler of China modified the policies and abstained the farmers from owning the agricultural land.
The ones who denied to abide with this unjust policy of Mao were punished brutally.
These activities led to the emergence of a great famine which is today's date called 'The Great Chinese Famine'.
