However, if a mid-estimate of 30 million deaths is accepted, the Great Leap Forward was the deadliest famine in the history of China and in the history of the world. This was in part due to Chinaâs large population; in the Great Irish Famine, approximately 1 million of a population of 8 million people died, or 12.5%.
