The Sino-Soviet Split was an important point in the Cold War whereby China and the USSR accused each other of being completely fake Communists. Thus they both threw a bit of a fit and refused to talk to each other anymore until the USSR died. Does anyone even read these?

Love how after Khrushchevs arrival, Stalins picture in the Kremlin turns into a cob of corn.
Pretty much sums up destalinisation
Ohhh that explains what that drawing was, but I don’t understand why Corn on the cob was chosen
Khrushchev had a well known fetish for corn. "Socialism can't be built on American wheat" as he said.
@@SloveneAnon Ironically corn originated in the Americas.

Not even gonna mention how Mao, knowing Khrushchev couldn't swim, made him meet in Mao's pool room and basically made the Soviet leader doggy paddle and struggle to stay above water
wait that really happen??!!! jeez that's both questionable but funny
@@scamanmagiccarp1932 Yes, he did it in revenge because he wasn't allowed to see Stalin on one of his birthdays, I think (can't remember which one). From what I read about the meeting, it was basically just Mao swimming in laps while Khrushchev was sitting knee deep in water with a ,,fuck me' face.
Khrushchev wanted to build a monument in China to commemorate Russian generals in the Russo Japanese war. The Russo Japanese war is a war between Russia and Japan in China. Mao was aware of the yellow race. He felt very uncomfortable, so he thought of a way to bully Khrushchev.
@@user-cx1ki8li4t also why would China want a monument to utter incompetence built there?

Kruschev: *tries to avoid nuclear war with the US*
Mao: “aight imma head out”
He also kinda fucked the economy.
Not that Mao was any better.

“I’m not afraid of nuclear war. There are 2.7 billion people in the world; it doesn’t matter if some are killed. China has a population of 600 million; even if half of them are killed, there are still 300 million people left.” - Mao

Zevzs it’s because the PRC replaced Taiwan (Formally known as the republic of China) in the UN Security Council in 1973

China is heading toward a capitalistic ethno-fascism confusiciusm state like Mussolini.
Han supremarcists, chinese ultranationalists
China: we're the real communists around here
Also China: *proceeds to be the main manufacturer for capitalist countries"
Ghost of Marx: wait, that's illegal!
Without the USSR to challenge them, and Socialism in the West having no centralizing or commanding voice whatsoever, China is in a position to claim what it likes really.
They still have a communist party
DJ Grandpa . A “communist” party. It may be named communist, but it damn sure isn’t in reality.
They saw how sticking to the book (i.e centralized controlled economy) and then going to a newer system instantly (perestroika and glasnost) is a killer. PRChina tried to keep on the Maoist track with the Gang of Four but Deng sees the realpolitik need to "reform". This is just the CCP trying to maintain power in a post Cold War world...

I have always wanted to know why Yugoslavia split from the Eastern block after WW2
Tito got rid of the Nazis on his own, so by 1945 there weren't any Red Army units in Yugoslavia and that was key in not being a Soviet puppet. So Yugoslavia was always part of the eastern block just never direct Moscow control, same with Albania
Because you either obey stalin or become his enemy
Yugoslavia was neutral in the cold war, and they hate stalin
Tito had multiple assassination attempts against him which failed.
Thanks lads for answering my question it is much appreciated
3:05 The Sino-Soviet Split absolutely did affect China to a significant degree. Khrushchev pulled all technical advisers out of the country and the complete lack of trade that followed stunted China's development for two decades. Furthermore it's arguable whether the catastrophe of the Great Leap Forward would've even happened if there was no split.
Thank you. In fact, Khrushchev has been paying attention to China and the Soviets have tried to give advice. These things are recorded in Khrushchev's memoirs. This is mainly caused by China's nationality and the whole external environment. There were many student movements in the 1960s and 1970s. Chinese scholar Wen Tiejun believes that this is because China can not solve the employment problem of students, and the world market is not mature, and the employment of workers and farmers is also a problem. Due to the characteristics of Chinese character, this problem has a great impact in China. This problem was finally solved by Deng Xiaoping in the 1990s. Now China is trying to develop Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia because it is afraid that the world market can not meet China's employment needs. In the Mao era, Mao put forward this strategy. China should unite all poor countries to make progress together, but Mao could not achieve this goal.（谢谢你，事实上赫鲁晓夫一直关注着中国，苏联人也试图给意见，这些事被纪录在赫鲁晓夫回忆录中。这主要是中国的民族性和整个外部环境造成的，在上世界60-70年代，学生运动非常多。中国学者温铁军认为，这是由于中国解决不了学生的就业问题，以及世界市场并不成熟，工人和农民的就业也是个问题。由于中国性格特点，导致这个问题在中国的影响非常巨大。这个问题最终由邓小平在1990年代解决。现在中国努力发展非洲和拉丁美洲以及东南亚，就是害怕世界市场无法满足中国的就业需求。在毛时代，毛就提出了这个战略，中国应该联合所有穷国，一起进步，但是毛无法完成这个目标。）

@@RyoKasai25 Yes. Finnish kids online love to inform Russians how "we beat you beat you in the winter war". It's to the patriotics and nationalists similiar to what beating Nazi Germany is to Russians. A reason for pride. David vs. Goliath known.

They had excellent relations with Ussr.They even got the Mig21 first even before some members of the warsaw pact
It's always been interesting to me that the Sino Split occurred because China thought the USSR's communist reforms were too soft, yet the reason why China ultimately remained as the last major Communist power is because of its own liberalizing reforms.
but the ussr also liberalized.

China aside from being Albanians closest strategic ally was closer to both Romania and Yugoslavia then to the USSR. This was important detail that was missed. Also China going to war with the US was Stalin's idea which also put distance between the two powers. Stalin event suggested having a unified Soviet controlled fleet in the Pacific based in Dalian, which was unacceptable to Mao. The Soviets also briefly supported the East Turkestan Republic and tried to stop the Chinese Civil War at the Yangtze River creating a North/South China. When Mao saw the Soviets starting to encroach on Chinese sovereity that's when the split started.
The USSR has never been a great ally to China. All it want is power and more lands.

Good work!
Didn’t mention the most impactful consequence of the split. After the Vietnam War, Laos and Cambodia, all were under communist regimes. Because all of them are grassroots movements, their allegiance also split between the Soviets and Chinese, particularly the Vietnamese favours the former while the Khmer Rouge, the latter. You don’t often hear about Khmer Rouge, especially at the time, which is astounding considering Khmer Rouge killed 1/3 of its country population, the most percentage wise of all communist regimes. You would think American propagandists would jump all over the story, but that’s not what happened. The US, at the time wanted to get closer to China. They ended up keeping quiet over the entire ordeal. What was publicised was the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia. It started with border clashes with the Khmer Rouge, backed by Deng Xiaoping at the time, made several incursions into Vietnam, in the name of reclaiming their ancestral land. The Vietnamese responded by invading Cambodia and deposing Khmer Rouge, out of overconfidence and probably lack of awareness about the political situation in the Union at the time. The Vietnamese were hoping the Soviet would keep China in check, but what ended up happened was the Chinese army invaded Vietnam from its Southern border, crushing some Vietnamese divisions while incurring few losses. The Vietnamese, rightfully, faced political pressure from the entire world and had to withdraw from Cambodia, handing power over to Hun Sen, whom they installed and made a deal with the Cambodian loyal family which last until this day. The Sino-Soviet split caused a few millions Cambodian, Vietnamese and Chinese death. In a classic example of real politics, representing Cambodia in the UN until the 90s were the Khmer Rouge representatives, because they are backed by China. The entire world condoned and supported a communist regime that killed 2 millions Cambodian, because of China’s backing. It’s even more remarkable when you consider that America aided the Khmer Rouge while they fight against the Vietnamese installed government of Hun Sen, refusing to call the killing of 2 millions Cambodian, genocide. I think this sets the tone for our upcoming China dominated century where things that involves China, but let’s hope that I am wrong.
Britain appeased Hitler hoping that he would turn on Russia. Look how that turned out.
USA appeased Mao hoping that he would turn on Russia as well.

@@rylencason4420 You haven’t studied up on actual Marxist economic theory, clearly. You can see how unchecked capitalism in America has resulted in increasing wealth gaps, tired infrastructure, etc. China is only using capitalism as a stepping stone to true communism.

Wasn't Kissinger in Cambodia while everything was happening, wasn't he on the helicopters while the KR was busting everyone with glasses for being a nerd.
there is one major reason why china will not dominate the next decades. population. i'm pretty sure everyone knows that china has had 1-child per couple policy for 30-odd years by now. as you know 1 kid is not enough to replace 2 parents. 30 years is almost 2 generations with only 1 kid. china's population is expected to HALVE in the next century. even if the communists found a way to rocket up the birth rate, this will still happen. population crises come slowly and impact slowly. the damage has been done. as the elderly population explodes, the CCP will need to take care of them, completely tanking their economy if the population/labor shortage doesn't do it. in addition this will also mean their military will downsize significantly in the coming decades. if china wants any shot at world domination -however small the chance- it needs to do so NOW, before they lose their only major military advantage on the US: huge population.
This video didn't go into how the Sino Soviet split affected foreign policy specifically in Africa and the fight against decolonisation. The Mozambican Civil War, the Rhodesian Bush War and Angolan civil War, Vietnam and Cambodia too.

So ironic that the split began because of Mao thinking Khrushchev was too conciliatory to the West. And then later on, Mao turned around and sided with the West against the USSR.

1:40 Mao wasn't exporting grain during a drought because he wanted to look rich, it was because he and the rest of the central government didn't know it was happening at all. This was due to the government system where regional managers were supposed to be completely responsible for any problems of their region, and thus avoided telling the issue of the drought and consequent famine to Mao and the party leaders to avoid being reprimanded.

china: mocks russia about the Hungarian revolt
also China: ' does the the tiananmen square massacre '
The Tiananmen square massacre happened way after Mao died. Deng Xiaoping and Mao Zedong actually disagreed on a lot of policies. Deng pretended to agree with Mao on everything before Mao died in order to become Mao's successor, but in reality were very different.
Also, not all of China's government was "evil" at the time. There was a vote on what to do with the ongoing protests in Tiananmen square, and the majority of the party voted on a crackdown. Deng wasn't sure what to do about the protests, but his advisors begged and convinced him that a crackdown was needed if Deng wanted to prevent dissolution of China (another warring states period). In the end, the massacre happened, and the politicians in China's government who voted to satisfy the protestors' dream for democracy were kicked out of the party and put under house arrest. (look up Hu Yaobing, a communist official who wanted to turn China into a democracy similar to Gorbachev's). Shortly after the massacre, Deng resigned his position as the leader of China.
Even the so-called "massacre" is a fake. If you try to collect pictures about the Tiananmen incident, you will only find PLA soldiers who were brutally killed. I even admire the CCP's restraint at that time. Freedom is not the reason why thugs kill innocent people.

You're unironically the funniest guy on this whole site.
This could have been a bit more detailed. There was some hilarious dialogue between Khrushchev and Mao regarding nuclear technology. Also the tension on the Sino-Soviet border was extreme. War could have easily broken out.
Border tensions in 1969 actually boiled over into open clashes. Brezhnev was so furious with Mao that he was ready to bring out the nukes and strike China preemptively. The only major reason he didn't do it is because Nixon stepped in and warned him against it, saying America had "interests" in the region. Some have said he should have let the Soviets do it, but that would mean 10s of millions of Chinese civilians dying (along with who knows how many Soviet and Mongolian ones).

@transylvanian "its capitalism and nationalism that exploit, oppress and divide people, deny them freedom and the enjoyment of the fruits of the labor of all humanity."
Literally every communist country did this. China STILL does this. Capitalism causes problems for others yes. Capitalism exploits, yes. But I mean goddamn at least capitalism doesnt starve you too death and cause mass famines and purges in your own country. Its laughable that you genuinely think communism is good for the world after the results of its practice. Sure because the Soviet union sure was a treat wasnt it? It's really not even a viable system, evident by the fact the PRC is beginning to move towards a more capitalistic focus which mind you is a result of their economic boom.
