 * War ended early!  Newspapers from around the world shout when China and the US agreed to a white peace from China's invasion of Hong Kong earlier that year. It all started early in 1966 when China invaded Hong Kong in an attempt to kick out the British from Chinese mainland. However this had provoked a war with the International Coalition Forces of Mutual Defense, a global successor to NATO, whom is made in an international effort to prevent the spread of communism. Washington Officials were celebrating and claimed that the Chinese "successfully back down from Hong kong".Senator William Proxmire of Illinois stated that, "An successful invasion would've resulted in major casualties on both sides, China would've used the nuclear weapons...". This decision made by the US may or may not save the west from nuclear annhilation, but the US' allies in the East, those who have China as a neighbor, who are brought together for a war, felt discontent by America's decision... "A huge oppurtunity wasted," Commented Ngo Dinh Diem, President of South Vietnam, "China, and even the Warsaw pact, wasn't in the mood for a war, or nuclear devastation. By the early 1970s, China would've surrendered. And Taiwan would be saved.". In any case, the US' controversial decision to end the war early, or not to pursue China back to Beijing, has sparked debates on both sides. But history will tell the consequences, whether for the betterment or devastation, of this decision in the near future.
