Abstract of the Lecture:
On the eve of negotiation about Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance between USSR and China, the international situation faced a possibly dramatic change. Since United State had been on its way to carry out the first nuclear test in early July, and the result of the test dominated the USSR’s coming military action against Japanese. Take serious of the fact that treaty negotiation and nuclear test taking place at the same time, the relation between US and treaty negotiation needed to be reappraised reasonably. Based on the documents of US foreign policy, This lecture interprets the engagement of US to the negotiation about the Sino-Soviet treaty.
