feb 14, 1950 - The Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutal Assistance is signed

Description:

"[Mao] respected Stalin and deferred to him, but never found him easy to deal with. Stalin had been slow to support the Chinese communist revolution, and surprised by its success.
He had been less than generous in setting the terms of the 1950 Sino-Soviet Treaty, and in providing military support to the Chinese during the Korean War." (Gaddis 2006, p. 109)
