What is Peaceful coexistence?
'''Peaceful coexistence''' was a theory developed by the Soviet Union during the [[Cold War]] that said that [[socialism|socialist]] and [[capitalism|capitalist]] states could 'accept' each other. The idea of peaceful coexistence came from before the [[Communist]] leader [[Stalin]]’s death, as [[Georgy Malenkov]] called for it in 1952. But it was more clear after Stalin’s death in 1953 where [[destalinization]] (removing the [[personality]] and [[politics]] of Stalin) began. <ref> Martin McCauley, ''Russia, America and the Cold War'' (2004 - Second edition) p. 43 </ref> <ref> Bradley Lightbody, ''The Cold War'' (1999) p. 35 </ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Cold War]] [[Category:International relations]] [[Category:History of the People's Republic of China]] [[Category:Peace]]
