Sino-Soviet border conflict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Sino-Soviet border conflict of 1969 was a series of armed clashes between the Soviet Union and People's Republic of China, occurring at the height of the Sino-Soviet split of the 1960s. The border dispute was suspended, but not actually resolved, and both sides continued their military build-up along the border. In a border agreement between Russia and China, signed on 14 October 2004, that dispute was finally resolved. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict,_1969   (489 words)

Sino-Soviet Border Clashes This conflict raised the prospect of a Soviet strike into China, a prospect supported by a widespread rumor that the USSR was considering a "surgical strike" on the Chinese nuclear testing facilities in Xinjiang. Border provocations occasionally recurred in later years--for example, in May 1978 when Soviet troops in boats and a helicopter intruded into Chinese territory--but major armed clashes were averted. The Beijing government began to challenge Soviet occupation of these disputed areas in 1963, and, with China's demonstration of its nuclear capability in 1964, the military build-up on both sides of the border began in earnest. www.globalsecurity.org /military/world/war/prc-soviet.htm   (857 words)

Manchuria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This led to armed conflict in 1969, called the Sino-Soviet border conflict. Manchuria borders Mongolia in the west, Siberia in the north, China proper to the south and North Korea in the east. With the encouragement of Soviet Russia, Manchuria was used as a staging ground during the Civil War for the Chinese Communists, who were victorious in 1949. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Manchuria   (3024 words)

3sinosov.htm Given the heavy Soviet casualties, and the circumstance that only a Soviet border patrol was involved, logic leads to the conclusion that, as charged by Moscow, China initiated the attack. On May 12, Peking announced that it had sent a message to the Soviet Union accepting in principle the Soviet proposal for resumption of the work of the mixed commission for the regulation of traffic on the border rivers and proposing that the date be fixed for mid-June. The territorial dispute between the former Soviet Union and China in 1960's was an extension of a long existing conflict, that can be traced back to the 17th century. www.american.edu /ted/ice/3sinosov.htm   (8956 words)

Communist state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There have been several wars or military conflicts between Communist states: the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Prague spring, the Ogaden War, the Cambodian-Vietnamese War, the Sino-Soviet border conflict, and the Sino-Vietnamese War. The broader Indochina conflict also saw Communist states established in Laos and Cambodia in 1975, though the latter government (known as Democratic Kampuchea) was toppled in a Vietnamese invasion and denounced by Vietnam and its Communist allies. In the Soviet Union scientific research was at a high level, as illustrated by the space program and the fact that one third of the world's scientific literature was written in Russian. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Communist_government   (4388 words)

Deterrence and Nuclear Confrontations: The Cuban Missile Crisis and the Sino-Soviet Border War [Free Republic] Both the Cuban missile crisis and the Sino-Soviet border conflict illustrated the uselessness of nuclear superiority or the implications of nuclear inferiority. The Soviets responded by increasing the military pressure on the border, apparently initiating skirmishes at many points on the border, including clashes as far away as in Central Asia. Soviet restraint was understandable, considering their relative weakness.24 The American restraint, despite their overwhelming advantage, is counter-intuitive and difficult to explain, except as the consequence of the fear of nuclear war itself. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a3985198a5317.htm   (4946 words)

Democratic peace theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some often mentioned conflicts are World War I, the Spanish-American War, the American Civil War, the War of the Pacific, the Continuation War, the Trail of Tears, the Sicilian Expedition and the war between the French Second Republic and the Roman Republic (19th century). One response is that many of the worst crimes were committed by nondemocracies, like in the European colonies before the nineteenth century, in King Leopold II of Belgium's privately owned Congo Free State, and in Stalin's Soviet Union. Some critics of the theory argue that there are many historic examples of wars between democracies, although supporters argue that closer examination shows that none of these conflicts were wars between liberal democracies. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Democratic_peace_theory   (1866 words)

CNN Cold War - Spotlight: Chinese-Soviet border clashes Consequently, a group of Soviet border guards was dispatched to the location where the Chinese had violated the border. The officer in charge of the unit and a small contingent approached the border violators with the intention of registering protests and demanding (without using force) that they leave Soviet territory, as had been done repeatedly in the past. Chinese reports of the time, meanwhile, condemned the Soviets for carrying out "blatant provocation" against Beijing's border guards. www.cnn.com /SPECIALS/cold.war/episodes/15/spotlight   (1183 words)

Sino-Soviet split - China-related Topics SI-SL - China-Related Topics Soviet military forces along the border were greatly reduced, normal economic relations were resumed, and the border issue was quietly forgotten. In 1961, the Soviet Union had around twelve half-strength divisions and 200 aircraft on the border; by the end of 1968 there were 25 divisions, 1,200 aircraft and 120 medium-range missiles. During 1968, the Soviets massively increased their troop deployments along the Chinese border, particularly the border with Xinjiang, where a Turkic separatist movement could easily be fostered. www.famouschinese.com /virtual/Sino-Soviet_split   (2900 words)

Chinese Defence Today :: Type 69, 40mm Rocket Propelled Grenade However, the rapid development of the new generation main battle tanks (MBTs) in the early 1960s has posed new threats to the PLA, which was later proven in the 1969 Sino-Soviet border conflict. The weapon entered service with the PLA in the mid-1970s, and took part in the 1979 Sino-Vietnam border conflict to provide platoon-level anti-personnel and anti-obstacle fire support. Because the Type 56 was unable to penetrate the armour of the new generation Soviet tanks such as the T-62, the PLA desperately needed a new individual anti-tank weapon to replace the ageing Type 56. www.sinodefence.com /army/individual/type69rpg.asp   (862 words)

USATODAY.com - China, Russia settle last of decades-old border disputes The struggle over border areas resulted in violent clashes in the 1960s and 1970s, when strained Sino-Soviet relations were at their most acrimonious, feeding fears abroad that the conflict could erupt into nuclear war. At one point, the Soviet Union was believed to have as many as 700,000 troops on the border, facing as many as 1 million soldiers from China's People's Liberation Army. BEIJING (AP) — China and Russia settled the last of their decades-old border disputes Thursday during a visit to Beijing by President Vladimir Putin, signing an agreement fixing their 2,700-mile-long border for the first time. www.usatoday.com /news/world/2004-10-14-border_x.htm   (391 words)

Sino-Soviet Relations and the February 1979 Sino-Vietnamese Conflict Although none of the Sino-Soviet border conflicts were allowed to escalate into all-out war, Beijing was continually testing the USSR's resolve to see whether it would resort to force to uphold the terms of the 1950 Sino-Soviet Treaty. These Sino-Soviet border conflicts had enormous social repercussions, however, forcing both countries to divert scarce resources to prepare for a possible nuclear war or for future military escalation along their mutual borders. Sino-Soviet border disputes during the late 1960s were particularly disturbing to Moscow and Beijing, since both the USSR and China were now nuclear powers; apparently an informal consensus was reached that neither side would resort to air power. www.vietnam.ttu.edu /vietnamcenter/events/1996_Symposium/96papers/elleviet.htm   (5013 words)

Summary Common wisdom within the administration held that the Sino-Soviet split, Soviet-American strategic parity, and certain challenges facing the Kremlin within its own sphere of influence had combined to create a situation in which a lessening of Cold War tensions was in the interest of both nations. The Soviet Union, having occupied a position of inferiority since the dawn of the nuclear age, finally had achieved rough strategic parity with the United States. Kissinger and Nixon believed that linkage-making negotiating progress in one area with the Soviet Union dependant upon progress in another-provided the best tactic for achieving several key international goals, including détente, strategic arms control, ending the war in Vietnam, and reaching settlements in the Middle East and Berlin. www.state.gov /r/pa/ho/frus/nixon/i/21100.htm   (2910 words)

The American Experience Nixon's China Game People & Events Sino-Soviet Border Disputes When the Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Moscow claimed the right to intervene in other Communist states to "protect" them from anti-Communist influences, the Beijing leadership began to fear that China would be next. In April 1960, Beijing publicly attacked the Soviet leadership as "revisionist," and Moscow responded in turn by recalling thousands of Soviet advisers from China and canceling economic and military aid to its erstwhile ally. But it was no laughing matter when the border harassment escalated into a shooting match on March 2 and 15, resulting in heavy casualties. www.pbs.org /wgbh/amex/china/peopleevents/pande06.html   (614 words)

History On-Line The Soviet Union was no longer willing to intervene as it had been in 1968, but it was Jaruzelki who feared a possible collapse of 'Socialism' and who decided to impose martial law in Poland. Hungary's Communist leaders were in fact loyal to the Soviet leadership, accepted the basic tenets of Stalinist ideology, and identified their country's interests with those of the Soviet Union. Emphasis is placed on the internal constraints of the Soviet foreign propaganda machine and its systemic flaws both of which made Soviet foreign propaganda relatively ineffective. www.history.ac.uk /ihr/Resources/Books/14682745.html   (2213 words)

China: the Struggle Within: WWP Calls for Peaceful Solution of Sino-Soviet Border Dispute The continuation of the border conflict gives the Soviet leaders the opportunity to play upon the national fears of the Soviet people. The fundamental cause of the struggle on the border between the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union has its origin in the many years that the Soviet leadership has pursued revisionist policies to the detriment of the USSR, China and the world revolution. Measured in terms of the world struggle, the border dispute, however important it may appear to be to China or to the USSR, is nevertheless a minor factor if viewed in the light of the overall objective the world struggle against imperialism. www.workers.org /marcy/cd/samwith/within/pcnvrt15.htm   (1284 words)

The Sino-Soviet Border Conflict, 1969 On 2 March 1969, the Sino-Soviet border dispute took an exceptionally violent turn when Chinese forces fired on Soviet border troops patrolling Zhenbao (Damanski), an island on the Ussuri River; some 50 Soviet soldiers were killed. The participants agreed that the border conflict was "serious" and that "suspicion of US collusion with the other" increased "nervousness" on both sides. Although the Soviets wanted to enter into border negotiations with the PRC, they refused to accede to Beijing's demands that Moscow acknowledge that the nineteenth century border agreements were "unequal treaties" akin to those forced on China by Western imperialism. www.gwu.edu /~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB49   (4581 words)

Imperialism & the Crisis in the Socialist Camp [Sam Marcy -- 1979]: Behind the U.S. 'Neutrality' Posture To deny that the Sino-Soviet conflict is a struggle between socialist states is to close one's eyes to reality. The correct attitude of the international working class and the oppressed in such a conflict must be based on who is allied or seeks an alliance with, who is aided and abetted by imperialism. From all that has been said earlier on relations between the socialist states, the one new and absolutely ominous phenomenon is the possibility of a wide conflict pitting one socialist state against another socialist state. www.workers.org /marcy/cd/samimpcr/mpcrisis/mpcris02.htm   (3136 words)

IS-JW The unilateral Soviet declaration of its establishment of a "200-mile exclusive fishing zone" in March 1977 to incorporate Japan's four northern islands was interpreted by Beijing as a hostile action against Japan. Both sides held that the Soviet Union's pursuit of hegemony and expansion abroad constituted the main danger to the world and expressed the desire to strengthen their own defense capabilities and take parallel actions on the basis of equality and mutual benefit in order to safeguard world peace. The Soviet foreign minister was reported to have threatened the Japanese prime minister that the Soviet Union might "have to review its relations with Japan if the Japanese government agreed to inclusion of the anti-hegemony clause in the projected Japan-China peace and friendship treaty. www.taiwansecurity.org /IS-JW.htm   (18876 words)

BHARAT RAKSHAK MONITOR: Volume 4(4) Clearly, from Nixon’s perspective, the use of threats and intimidation of India and the Soviet Union during the December 1971 War was meant to send a signal to the Soviets to refrain from helping Washington’s adversaries in regional or internal conflicts in the Third World. On top of it all, the Nixon-Zhou meeting was preceded by a tense stand-off between China and the Soviet Union following several bloody skirmishes on their disputed border and the Soviet threat to take out China’s nuclear arsenal in a pre-emptive strike. The Soviet Union was seen as a rising, expansionist power, lending its military and diplomatic support to allies such as India and Vietnam. www.bharat-rakshak.com /MONITOR/ISSUE4-4/malik.html   (6466 words)

User talk:Gunter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I've noticed you added a sentence regarding truck-mounted lasers (???) to the Sino-Soviet border conflict, 1969 article. It sounded reasonable to me in so far as all new technologies are tested by the military, especially in real conflicts. Could you, please, tell what the source of that information is? Also, is it directly related to the 1969 conflict, or did it happen on some other occasion (in which case the sentence should be moved out of this article)? www.wikipedia.org /wiki/User_talk:Gunter   (640 words)

UPI Hears... - (United Press International) During the 1969 Sino-Soviet border conflict along the Ussuri River, 658,000 Soviet troops faced 814,000 Chinese troops along the 2,738 mile-long border. Soothing the Middle Kingdom, Russian President Vladimir Putin has submitted an agreement on the Russian-Chinese border to the Duma defining the border on two islands on the Argun, Amur and Ussuri rivers, relinquishing Russian control of approximately 145 square miles of the territory fought over more than three decades ago. Clashes were hardly minor; according to Soviet historian Roy Medvedev, more than 3,000 Chinese soldiers were killed in an infantry barrage personally ordered by Leonid Brezhnev. www.washtimes.com /upi-breaking/20050506-125013-4060r.htm   (691 words)

New Documentary Reveals Secret U.S., Chinese Diplomacy Behind Nixon's Trip The four marshals first focused on relations with Moscow just as the Sino-Soviet border clashes were breaking out; although they saw the Soviets as dangerous, they doubted that Moscow intended to launch war against China. The first English-language publication of the four marshals' story was in Chen Jian and David Wilson, "All Under the Heavens is Great Chaos': Beijing, the Sino-Soviet Border Clashes, and the Turn Toward Sino-American Rapprochement," Bulletin of the Cold War International History Project 11 (Winter 1998): 155-175. As a sign that the United States was committed to friendly relations with Beijing, during the Nixon visit, Kissinger provided Marshal Ye Jianying, one of the four marshals (see document 3) with a top secret intelligence briefing on Soviet force deployments at the Chinese border. www.gwu.edu /~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB145   (1937 words)

Russia, China boost joint defense plans Articles in the official Chinese press have explicitly explained the campaign as a response to the threat that China may be destabilized and ultimately splintered by a wave of democratic activism from Ukraine spreading across eastwards across Eurasia through the former Soviet republics of Central Asia. That said, if such a conflict escalated to US or other troops entering China, Russia would be in. Significantly, the Sino-Russian military exercises now planned for August and September do not appear to involve the deployment of any Chinese troops into Russian territory to help Russia against any international terrorist threat, even though Russia has suffered far more grievously than China form such attacks in recent years. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1338840/posts   (1246 words)
