1 .

2 .
China joined in the Korean War on the side of North Korea. Why?
Mao feared the existence of a capitalist South Korea as a threat to him
Mao wanted to replace the Soviet Union as North Korea's main supporter
Mao feared that the UN forces (mainly American) would continue through North Korea and cross the Yalu River into China
Mao feared that the USA and its allies would deploy nuclear weapons against the North and wished to forestall this by passing through North Korea and into the south. From there Mao thought that he could negotiate from a position of strength

India
Outer Mongolia

France
Nepal
The change in government in China from 1949 complicated matters, as it had been a previous Chinese government that had responded to attack in the first place
8 .
Which state did China herself invade and occupy in 1950, provoking a serious rebellion in 1958 that was brutally crushed?

9 .
When did China first acquire an atomic bomb?
1957
