Franck Ferrand raconte : Kissinger en Chine (Les Grands Dossiers de l'Histoire)

At the height of the Cold War, a secret mission would change the course of history. In July 1971, Henry Kissinger officially disappeared for a few hours during a trip to Pakistan. In reality, he secretly flew to Beijing to prepare an unprecedented rapprochement between Richard Nixon's United States and Mao Zedong's China. In this episode of "Great History Files," Franck Ferrand revisits the behind-the-scenes story of this clandestine negotiation, the geopolitical stakes that pitted Washington, Moscow, and Beijing against each other, and the lasting consequences of this spectacular diplomatic revolution. A captivating account at the heart of the Cold War's major political maneuvers. #History #ColdWar #Kissinger #China #FranckFerrand 🎙️ Welcome to the Radio Classique YouTube channel, a station with a unique format in the French radio landscape, combining classical music, general news, and financial and economic updates.
