March 2nd 1969 a small group of chinese soilgers ambushed some soviet guards on Zhenbao Island, this action killed around 50 people and kicked off a conflict that lasted 20 years. Bombs, tanks, planes, poison gas, and around a hundred nuclear weapons used for 'tactical' purposes were all used. The conflict has been discribed as the Soviet Unions Vietnam and it ended with a exausted soviet union that had been bleed white, and a demolished china that had lost an estimated half of their population.

The two countries openly loath each other to this day.

But what would the world look like if the war hadn't happened would the soviet union still exist? Would China be a super power? Would things like the Rambo movies still happen? What would the world look like if the war had never happened?
