Military Aid Treaty 1960s

The Military Aid Treaty in Early 1960 was a 20-year program enacted between the recently established Communist Government of Manchuria and Soviet Russia. It was established after unsuccessful attempts had been made to integrate the People's Republic of Manchuria (P.R.M) into the Warsaw Pact. Which primarily occurred due to the countries geographical location being essentially surrounded by NATO countries.

However this deterrence also provided some beneficial trading factors for Manchuria. As it was one of the closest communist countries on friendly terms located close to the United States. Thus, the P.R.M requested to remain as a "Friendly State" to the USSR and would be given observer like status.
