"In the arena of global geopolitics in the second half of the 20th century, few events were of more significance than the split in the Sino-Soviet alliance that fundamentally transformed the Communist world. While historians have noted many contributing factors to this division between Communist China and Soviet Russia, the ultimate origins seem to be rooted in the period between the death of Stalin in 1953 and the Hungarian uprising against Soviet rule in 1956."
