And that really is the mark that theCultural Revolution left behind.’ The Cultural Revolution was a period duringwhich children aged between 12 and 14 would call themselves ‘Red Guards’ andcarry out all manner of violence in the streets as Mao’s soldiers. In fact,there was no power in the country that could stop these individuals.Nevertheless, it is worth emphasising that the Cultural Revolution was not theresult of spontaneous destruction. Inthis study, the socio-political and cultural events that took place during theperiod from 1956 to 1967 in China will be examined, and the factors that causedthe cultural revolution will be investigated. As a result of this study, it isunderstood that the greatest factor which led to the formation of the CulturalRevolution was the lack of self-criticism associated with Mao.

Saygın tarihçi Frank Dikötter'egöre bu, ‘kaybetme, güven kaybetme, arkadaşlık kaybetme, diğer insanlara olaninancı kaybetme, sosyal ilişkilerde öngörülebilirliği kaybetme ile ilgiliydi.Ve bu gerçekten de Kültür Devrimi'nin geride bıraktığı işarettir.' KültürDevrimi, 12 ila 14 yaş arasındaki çocukların kendilerine “Kızıl Muhafızlar”dedikleri ve Mao'nun askerleri olarak sokaklarda her türlü şiddet eyleminigerçekleştirdikleri bir dönemdi. Aslında tüm ülkede bu bireyleri durdurabilecekhiçbir güç yoktu. Buna rağmen, Kültür Devrimi'nin kendiliğinden gelen biryıkımın sonucu olmadığını vurgulamak zorundayız. Bu çalışmada, Çin'de 1956'dan1967'ye kadar olan süreçte ortaya çıkan sosyo-politik ve kültürel olaylarincelenecek ve kültür devrimine neden olan etkenler üzerinde durulacaktır. Buçalışmanın sonucu, Kültür Devrimi'nin ortaya çıkmasına yol açan en büyüketkenin Mao ile ilişkilendirilen öz eleştiri eksikliği olduğunu ortayakoymaktadır. CR - Armaoglu, F. (1984). 20.
