Background ๐Ÿ“Œ

  • Albania acts as a focal point for China's dissent against the USSR.
  • By 1961, USSR withdraws aid to Albania and criticizes it for being 'Stalinist'.
  • China sees this criticism as an attack on them too, leading to escalating tensions.

๐Ÿ“Ž Fun Fact: Think of Albania as the middle child caught between two quarreling parents – China and the USSR!

War of Words ๐Ÿ“Œ

  • USSR's Khrushchev and China's Mao name-call each other. Think "Asian Hitler" and "redundant old boot".

๐Ÿ“Ž Example: Remember those times in school when kids used to call each other names? That’s what these big leaders were doing, just on a much larger stage!

China-India War (1962) ๐Ÿ“Œ

  • China invades Tibet, causing international anger and making India nervous.
  • Tensions on the India-Tibetan border increase.
  • War erupts in October and ends in November.
  • China wins, but USSR's support to India worsens Sino-Soviet relations.

๐Ÿ“Ž Example: Imagine two friends fighting over a toy. That’s how China and India felt about the disputed border!

Cuban Missile Crisis ๐Ÿ“Œ

  • Mao criticizes Khrushchev's handling of the crisis.
  • Mao saw USSR's actions as betraying the revolutionary cause.

๐Ÿ“Ž Example: Think of it as one friend backstabbing another in a group project.
