🌟 Hey there future history buff! Ready to dive into some international drama featuring Mao Zedong, Nikita Khrushchev, and the whole Communist entourage? Buckle up! 🌟

• The Event: A conference in Moscow where Communist leaders tried to fix divisions in the Marxist world. Khrushchev hoped to make peace among Communist states.
• Mao's Stance: Recognized USSR's importance but criticized it for being too soft on the West.
• Key Point: Mao insisted on a "true Marxist-Leninist path," and fighting the international class war, not making friends with the West.

🎯 Real-world example: Think of Mao like that friend who calls you out for being too nice to people who aren't really your friends. He’s saying, "Hey, USSR, stop trying to be pals with the school bullies (the West); let's stick to our own squad!"

• Deng Xiaoping's Role: Acted as Mao's chief spokesperson, pushing the Chinese version of international revolution.
• The Message: Global revolution can only be achieved through armed struggle.

🎯 Real-world example: Ever had a wingman who helped you look cool at a party? That's Deng Xiaoping for Mao, but instead of chatting up dates, they're chatting up revolutions.

• What Sparked It: Anger from the USSR over China's attempt to make them look bad at the Moscow meeting.
• Personal Element: Mao and Khrushchev really didn't like each other.

🎯 Real-world example: Imagine two popular kids fighting for the title of 'School President.' Both want to lead, and they start throwing shade, splitting the school (or in this case, the Communist world) into two camps.
