Red Guard members were trained to torture people; they were educated and re-educated my Chairman Mao to kill innocent people during the Cultural Revolution.

After fighting in the Chinese Revolution ended in 1950, mainland China came under control of the communists, creating a new communist government known as the People's Republic of China.

Mao Zedong, the leader of the People's Republic of China began this movement in 1966 and came to an end in 1976 when he (Mao Zedong) died.

By the mid-1970's, China became a military-controlled state because of the cultural revolution.

In the short run the political instability and the zigzags in economic policy produced slower economic growth and a decline in the capacity of the government to deliver goods and services.

In 1968 the Red Guard movement was put down by the PLA violently.

The Cultural Revolution was a violent movement that resulted in social economic and political upheaval.

Mao Zedong called for the young people in China to intiate reform in 1966, and the group of young people were known as the red guard.
