Chinese famine of 1928–30

The Chinese famine of 1928–1930 was a famine in the period when the Republic of China was ruling Mainland China. In 1928–1930, a drought hit the provinces of Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu.[1] The famine hit a large area of North China. It was estimated that about 3 million people died in the famine.[2] The inefficiency of relief has been pointed out as a factor which aggravated the famine.[3]
