Sino-Soviet War (HSE)

The Sino-Soviet War was a brief armed conflict fought between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China over Zhenbao (Zamansky) Island on the Ussuri river. Prior to the war, the two large communist states were at odds with each other as Mao Zedong declared that the Soviet Union was a "Revisionist Traitor Group." China fought India in 1962 and won, in annoyance with the Soviet leadership who supplied arms and covert aid to the India.

The conflict began when warning shots were fired by both parties. When China invaded Zhenbao Island, the war was set. The Soviet Union responded by a full invasion of China, destroying massive parts of Manchura and Uyghurstan (Xinjiang). Mao was killed during the siege of Beijing, as was his successor Liu Shaoqui. China surrendered afterwards, and was annexed by the Soviet Union and divided into several SSRs.

Two years after the Sino-Soviet War, the Purge of the Revisionists would occur. The Soviet Union invaded the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the People's Socialist Republic of Albania after they renounced the Soviet form of communism and chose to join the alignment. The three communist states were annexed and the Soviet Union became the most powerful country in the world, stretching from Germany to the Far East.
