THE RISE AND FALL OF SINO-SOVIET RELATIONS
This thesis examines the drivers of the rise and fall of Sino-Soviet relations in the 1950s and 1960s. The Sino-Soviet alliance grew beyond their similar ideologies through China’s need to modernize its economy and military to face geopolitical threats. This relationship was tested throughout the 1950s with the Korean War and economic Stalinization, but military and economic factors drove the relationship forward. However, ideological differences coupled with diverging economic and military interests ultimately split the relationship between Communist China and the Soviet Union. This research focuses on the military and economic factors that drove the Sino-Soviet relationship and ultimately led to its downfall.Ahlah Deslegch, Mongolian Armed ForcesApproved for public release.
