'Watergate' Shocker: Ex-US President Nixon Was Ready To Support China If It Attacked India In 1971

Описание: Newly unsealed Watergate records have revealed a startling Cold War secret. During the 1971 India–Pakistan war, as Indian forces closed in on Dhaka, US President Richard Nixon privately assured China that Washington would support Beijing if it chose to attack India. The disclosure comes from Nixon’s own sworn testimony, kept sealed for nearly five decades because of its explosive implications. Nixon admitted the decision was his alone, driven by Cold War fears, India’s treaty with the Soviet Union, and America’s reliance on Pakistan as a bridge to China. While the war ended in just thirteen days with the birth of Bangladesh, these documents show how close South Asia came to a far wider conflict involving major powers. For India, the revelations confirm long-held suspicions about US neutrality and expose how hidden decisions nearly reshaped history.
