Join us as we delve into the complex web of the Cold War and its lesser-known conflicts in this intriguing episode of The Cold War Channel. Host David uncovers the dramatic events of the 1962 Sino-Indian War, shedding light on the geopolitical dynamics, military strategies, and global implications that shaped this chapter of history.
The aftermath of British colonial rule in India left behind disputed border lines, including the infamous McMahon Line, which served as the de facto northeastern border between India and China. Initially, relations between the two nations seemed cordial, but tensions soon flared, primarily fueled by the Tibet issue and the strategic Aksai Chin plateau.
As the Sino-Indian relationship soured, the world was witness to the broader Sino-Soviet split, where Chairman Mao and Premier Khrushchev no longer saw eye to eye. The Cuban Missile Crisis further complicated matters, and diplomatic maneuvering between the superpowers set the stage for the Sino-Indian conflict.
Explore the events that led to the outbreak of the 1962 War and discover how the world's superpowers played a pivotal role. The war had a significant impact on the region, influencing India's foreign policy and leaving China with mixed results.
Don't miss this captivating episode that highlights the shades of gray in history, reminding us that the Cold War was far from a black-and-white affair.

11:26 Dhola post was a worthless post an advantage it offered was it overlooked the namka chu valley But at the same time this dhola post was overlooked by thagla ridge which was overlooked by chinese . Indian planners blundered here . They send ill equipped indian soldires who were supposed to evict the chinese from thag la ridge and gain heights . Chinese were estimated by indians to be battalion sized hence could be evicted by brigade sized indians . Chinese not only at top but were also much well equipped compared to indians .at end the operation to evict chinese from thag la never came and the 7th brigade had seen chinese grow from just a battalion to 1 division + Result- PLA who were bred from korean war attacked and took the whole namkachu valley and in turn penitrated indian border . They attacked on 3 fronts - walong; aksai chin and thag la. While in aksai chin indian soldires much fought bravely . The real humiliation was in eastern sectors at nefa . PLA marched 160km deep in this sector and reached the plains of assam . PLA litrally pursued and routed retreating indian brigades .

印度第七旅作为前锋，是最惨的 不过我要补充一点，中国军队并不是靠人数击败的印军，而是靠非常强大的战术，一晚上让一个步兵师急行军几百里，通过及其险峻的山路绕进了印度主力的后方，与前线配合从许多方向同时发动进攻，因此印度军队（包括朝鲜战争的美军）都会喊“为什么中国人无处不在！”，同样的事情发生在了印度所有爆发战斗的地方，中国军队即便找不到山路，也会专门挑两个军队的结合部快速突破，中国军队的战术运用毫无疑问是当时最强大的

[@SAMARTHSAMANT]

​@user-fi4km2jm5l 是的，你是对的..最近经过详细的研究，我明白了一切。关于巨大赔率和数字的讨论仅适用于针对第七旅的第一阶段行动。拥有 2400 人的第 7 旅正在与拥有约 11000 人的中国 z 419 师作战。但在行动的第二阶段，印第安人的人数很多。第4师+一个旅的近12000名印度人对抗大约22000名中国人。中国人在塞拉博姆迪拉路上攻击第四师，派遣一支可能是营规模的军队穿过大麦田--一片未开发的山区。他们躲在第4师的后方，引起准将们的巨大恐慌。他们很快就会命令整个第四师撤退。撤军将变成溃败，并很快溃败。

Tibet was legally China's (whichever political party was in power) - even the British acknowledged that. Just that Tibet was having the thought of taking the opportunity of the turmoil in China then, to unilaterally declared independence. But they did not. Otherwise, they would not have agreed that the Simla Agreement 1914 needed to be signed by China for it to have any legal effect. In 1914, the precursor of KMT was in power.

[@web_devs]

Hey there, Captain History Channel! It's always refreshing to see someone rewrite the entire narrative of a historical event with the precision of a toddler trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. I mean, who needs accurate information when we can just make up our own version of reality, right? So, according to your highly credible and definitely not fabricated account, three Chinese cooks managed to capture an entire Indian battalion. I can just imagine it now: the fearless chefs, armed with spatulas and ladles, bravely outmaneuvering the clueless Indian soldiers who were presumably too busy discussing their favorite biryani recipes to notice they were being "captured." And tens of thousands of Indian soldiers captured? Wow, it's like the Chinese army stumbled upon a massive group therapy session instead of an actual battlefield. I bet the Chinese soldiers were so impressed with the Indians' talkative skills that they decided to ditch their weapons and enroll in communication workshops instead. But wait, there's more! The Indians were "vulnerable in actual battles." I guess all those fancy weapons, training programs, and military strategies were just for show. Silly Indians, thinking they could actually defend themselves in a real fight. Maybe next time they should consider bringing poets and philosophers to the battlefield for a more intellectually stimulating experience. Thanks for enlightening us with your alternative history lesson. Who needs well-documented facts and credible sources when we can just rely on your vivid imagination and unparalleled storytelling skills? I eagerly await your next masterpiece, perhaps a tale of how unicorns played a crucial role in the space race. Keep 'em coming!

This historical take on the 1962 Sino-Indian War is complete nonsense. Even reading "China's India War", a 2018 attempt by an Indian scholar to state pretty much what was said here, the complaint that India is usually perceived to be the aggressor is frequently stated. Even Henry Kissinger's book, "On China", uses U.S. intelligence sources to explain how India was the clear aggressor. For example, upon Indian troops marching "eyeball to eyeball" with Chinese forces, their immediate reaction was to retreat 18km and continue to plead for peace. Kissinger quotes Indian bloodthirsty politicians from the time taking this retreat as a sign of weakness. In the end, China didn't take any new territory, not even territory which they claim to this day, such as Southern Tibet, because they wanted the world to know that they gained nothing from the war. Simply put, this historical analysis was nonsense.

[@Wann-zo7rn2qn4i]

Nope, the real reason was Nehru was too proud and underestimated the Chinese. Nehru thought the Chinese were too soft. Zhou Enlai offered a peaceful resolution but Nehru refused. The 1962 war was not a surprise. There had been several skirmishes in the few years prior to 1962. To even suggest that the Indian army was unprepared is disingenuous and just making excuses. Even though the Chinese won and actually took back the disputed South Tibet area which the Chinese still regarded as theirs, they withdrew their troops back to pre-war positions after they announced the cease fire. Nehru's himalayan blunder should more properly be applied to his refusal to accept the Chinese solution to end all this border tension. We could have had 60 years of peace between these 2 countries instead of tension; and the Arunachal Pradesh athletes would most certainly have gotten their visa to China.

Sir, just to make a correction, the indians never entered into chinese territory, u might say, the indian army established outposts in the "occupied" territory which is claimed by India, but forcefully occupied by china and technically belongs to India, since the Tibetan govt accepted these lines with the british indian govt, irrespective of whether the kuomintang or the communists liked it or not, coz at that point, the tibetans in everyway were independent. Edit: Also, India was only initially outnumbered and outgunned... in technical terms, India was in everyway superior to the chinese counterpart, by the time of the unilateral ceasefire from china, the chinese army had almost no rations left to feed the army, so if the indian govt wanted, they could have prolonged the conflict at will.... however the indian govt was weak, lead by a person who lived in his daydreams... so the indians lost the conflict.

[@fortpark-wd9sx]

So why was the ROC gov invited to the Simla Convention if Tibet was already deemed independent? Read up on earlier treaties between Qing China and Britain. Britain recognized ROC as successor to Qing. The Simla Convention said nothing about Tibetan independence. It was about giving the Brits a sphere of influence in Tibet. Of course the Brits did not want an indpendent Tibet. ROC was considered easier to be manipulated than Tsarist Russia. Neither were the Tibetans interested. As Tibetologist Dawa Nobu later described it, independence was not political independence but independent way of life. The Kashag governing system set up by Qing China continued minus the Imperial Commissioner.

After watching the full video, I personally think you took the chinese nationalist state perspective a little bit too much at heart (altough not always to put nuance) compared to your other videos. From that really weird Big China map with bits of even Pakistan in it and showing India as claiming Tibet for some reason, to the choice of using the demonizing (around the world) term "separatists", of telling that Tibet tought of itself as independant only during the 1950s when it was since the 1910s and before that as a tributary state, and before that as an independant empire. Everything feels as if to avoid the fate of anyone slightly pissing just a tiny bit the nationalist chinese perspective unlike with other nationalist perspectives, something that has multiple precedents in the past three decades. That's not like your usual selves, guys, your video on Tibet was great. PS : I am not indian, not european, not american. Can the China internet militia not put me in a camp, please?

So where was the Tibetan declaration of independence and the Tibetan nationalist revolutionary movement? Read up on Lhasa's relations with the ROC from 1913 to 1948. ROC Tibetan and Mongolian Affairs Commission had an office in Lhasa (No, it was not an embassy). The Tibetan issue became an issue largely because the Reds decided to change the system, something which earlier Beijing or equivalent preferred to keep the system.
