It increased tensions, because it increased Western fears of communist expansion.
The cold war
During the early years of the Cold War, Republican senators primarily blamed Democratic President Harry S. Truman and his administration for the communist success in China. They argued that Truman's policies were weak and not adequately containing the spread of communism, leading to the victory of the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong in the Chinese Civil War. It is important to note that there were also other factors beyond US policies, such as internal divisions within China and the effectiveness of the Chinese Communist Party, which contributed to the communist success.
Communist expansion.
Two hot battles of the cold war. Which was also an opportunity for both sides (Free world and communist world) to test out their new weapons (jets for example).
that was i want to now about it
During the communist Chinese Revolution in 1949, Westerners referred to the Communist Chinese as "RED CHINESE." A title that is in the US Dictionary; published in 1969. Communists during the cold war were often referred to as "Reds." During the Russian Bolshevik (Communist) Revolution of 1917, the communist RED Army defeated the Tzsars non-communist WHITE Army. "Better dead than Red" was a slogan in the United States during the 50's & 60's.
The Red Chinese were part of the communist superpowers, they had "the bomb." (A-Bomb).
The collapse of the Soviet Union and a softening of communist governments world-wide.
It created a new enemy for the Americans during the cold war; a Soviet Union ally...Communist China (more commonly referred to as Red China in newspapers and magazines during the 1960s). During the Vietnam War, communist material that was encountered or captured which was made in Red China were tranmitted over the radio as "Chicom AK-47s, Chicom SKS carbines,..."; short for Chinese Communist. Nationalist China (Taiwan) was an American ally.
why is the communist takeover of china relevant to the cold war
== == A revolution is fighting to over turn something on a wide scale, like the communist revolution or the American revolution. Wars are mostly politics, except for the Cold War which was for the people's hearts and minds, a war of ideas. I hope that helped lol.
China is a communist country. The cold war was between the western countries and the communist countries. China supported the communist countries.
As of 2013, the Chinese government refers to itself as Communist. However, the ideal of communism is "from everyone according to ability, to everyone according to need". As there are millions of people in China who starve, suffer from heat and cold, etc, the ideal is not being lived up to. Based upon the definition, China is more socialist than communist.
