Sino-Soviet Split
Sino-soviet Split, 1959
USA Realized they could not work with China after their invasion of Tibet and support for North Korea
The former allies split ways in 1959
Reasons for this: Krushchevs peaceful coexistence idea
The Sino-Soviet split (1960–1989) was the worsening of political and ideological relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) during the Cold War. In the 1960s, China and the Soviet Union were the two largest Communist states in the world. The doctrinal divergence derived from Chinese and Russian national interests, and from the régimes' respective interpretations of Marxism: Maoism and Marxism–Leninism.

Anyone who disobeyed "Little Red Book"
The Red Guard got so violent that the PLA had to restore order the Revolution ended by 1969
