The Sino-Soviet War escalated from a series of border conflicts before turning inti a full-fledged war in the mid 60s and early 70s.
This war has had multiple profound effects on the world; with the most important ones being the near-complete dominance of the United States in world affairs, accelerating the fall of Communism in all of Europe, Tibet managing to reassert independence, the undisputed rise of Japan as Asia's largest economy and second most powerful military force in the world (with article 9 being revoked during the War), Hong Kong remaining a British possession, the the fracturing of China and the Soviet Union into multiple states
As of 2015, the Russian Federation, controlling much of European Russia and Belarus, has officially joined the European Union, along with the former Soviet states of Ukraine and Moldova, as the Baltics had joined years ago. On the other hand, the Soviet remnant, known as Socialist Siberia, remains a backwards totalitarian state that refuses ties with the rest of the world, especially as Japan asserted control of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands decades ago
The small nuclear exchange China and the Soviet Union had has burned millions of people, with Chinese cities such as Beining, Shanghai, Xi'an, Shenyang, and military bases have been hit with multiple powerful warheads. Any Russian target vital to the war was also hit by China's small arsenal; but they did not hesitate on using it on military targets. Southern China had been saved, however, with much of it either under RoC control of foreign occupation, as the social order there remains chaotic.
Russia, however, has lost Moscow to nuclear weapons.
With the world order undisputable under the US-led alliance, one can only wonder how the world might have been, had the Sino-Soviet War not happened as the United States, Canda, Mexico and a number of Carribean and Central American nations declare a Union of America, an EU-style union with the ultimate goal of unification, as the US and Canada prop up their North American neighbors into greater status.
The Sino-Soviet war destroyed any competition for the United States. Even Brazil was forced to essentially bend the knee as the withdrew from the Gran Columbian civil war in 1995. How would the world be like without the counterweights Chima and the USSR? Would the 'Cold War' escalate between the three sides? Would a balanced world utlimately lead to peace? Many in the qorld saw China as a rising power, now they saw it as a fragile man sick with radiation being carved up.
