The Guangxi Massacre was the largest documented case of mass cannibalism in human history. The Guangxi culinary abomination took place between 1967 and 1968 in Guangxi, China, a province located directly to the north of North Vietnam. Accordingly, the cannibalistic incident illustrates basic concepts of geopolitics and the way geography, lines of communication, and strategy intersect with social change and religion. Put succinctly, the Guangxi cannibal holocaust demonstrates how culture and strategy impact one another. The incident was part of a Civil War which took place in China during the 1960s, a conflict in which millions of human beings died and hundreds, perhaps thousands, were eaten by their fellow citizens. This is the story of that mass cannibalism.
