Indo-Chinese War (20 Oct.-22 Nov. 1962) A war caused by China's refusal to accept the Indo-Chinese border drawn along the
McMahon Line in 1914. It became a current issue with China's annexation of
Tibet in 1950. A number of border clashes led to the ‘cartographic war’ (1960–2), when both sides argued their claims on the basis of different maps. Following India's decision to defend vigorously the territories it regarded as its own, the Chinese quickly advanced into
Assam. The Chinese withdrew on 21 November, but retained the Ladakh salient. It was a devastating defeat for the
Indian army, triggering the resignation of the Minister of Defence, Krishna Menon. It prompted a series of army reforms, and led to extensive investment in foreign (intitially US) armaments technology.
