The phrase "War makes strange bedfellows" can be explained by the uneasy alliance between USA, Britain, and Soviet Russia during World War II
Explanation:
During the second world war, USA was a late entrant, as a country that was pushed into the war despite its isolationist sentiments after the losses of the first world war and great depression.
The other two countries were polar opposites. The Russians were staunch communists by then and Stalin was a full blown dictator akin to Hitler, against whom the alliance was made.
But shared goals made Britain and the USA let go of their ideology and work together with Stalin to defeat the enemy.
Answer:
Marxist Communism main difference with Maoism is the source of the revolution and its extent. In Marxist-Communism the proletariat revolution starts in the cities and industrial areas, trying to achieve control over the means of production. In Maoism, the revolution starts in rural areas and does not require an advanced industry to happen.
The difference is historically important, according to Marx, the proletarian revolution arises inevitably from the class struggle between the Capitalist and the Proletariat. For Marxist-Communism, the revolution emerges from a crisis of advanced capitalism. In Maoism, the revolution can emerge before there is any kind of advanced capitalism.
Marxist-Communism is much more based on historical materialism or the understanding of history and society through the economy. Maoism rejects some of the dogmas of historical materialism.
In a sense, Maoism is more nationalistic because it emerged from practice in the specific conditions of China. It also has a different relationship with the west because it rejects, in principle, industrial development and capitalism as a necessary stage.

Before his death, Genghis Khan had already started to rely on family members and highly placed generals to rule a great deal of territory. Following his death, Mongolia continued to rule over the Golden Horde, the Central Asian Jagadai domains, and the Il-khans of Iran. The unity of the Mongol Empire began to disintegrate when several branches refused to accept Khubilai as the Grand Khan, and he subsequently established the Yuan reign in China. Central Asia's adherence to the Jagadai traditions and Turkic culture led to hatred of the Yuan Empire, which subsequently asserted itself over China and Vietnam (Annam). The Golden Horde remained predominant in Russia and tolerated the Orthodox Church. In some historians' opinion, Alexander Nevskii's alliance with the Golden Horde in return for religious toleration preserved the "Russian-ness" of the church; thus Russia repelled the Teutonic Knights. There was rivalry between the Golden Horde's Muslim leaders and the Il-khans, which had overthrown the Abbasid Caliphate in 1258, but it was mostly political rather than religious rivalry, and the Il-khan leader Ghazan became a Muslim in 1295. In general, there was little connection between religion and feuding branches of Mongol descendants, and rivalries were based on politics rather than religion.
