Korean War (25 jun 1950 ano – 27 jul 1953 ano)

Descrição:

-strengths of Sino-Soviet relations: brought USSR + China together (supporting same side), China emerged as a world power (surprised USA + held its own)

-tensions in Sino-Soviet relations: Mao felt Stalin was deliberately not getting USSR directly involved (keeping China weak, making it do all the fighting without telling Mao of this expectation first), Mao not involved in all talks between Stalin/Kim Il-Sung
