Cause Of The Cold War

The cold war, a war where no bullets were fired and was solely made up of the decisions of the government at the time. The cold war had a huge impact on countries all over the world. This particular war had its positives and negatives on certain countries and left some countries in fortune, while other countries were left in poverty and in a depression. Many people debate which country started the cold war. The United States of America or the Soviet Union? The Soviets were the cause of the Cold War and the U.S.A had to use containment in order to keep communism from spreading into other countries and causing them to become communist. This should be all be included in soviet textbooks as a remembrance of how the Soviet country was ran and what

This was done in order to create a sort of buffer zone in between them and the United states. The Soviets wanted this buffer zone in order to prevent direct attacks from the U.S and to increase the growth of communist countries. At the end of World War II all countries pulled out their military forces, except for the Soviet Union. This was done in order to conquer the country of Germany while it was weak after the war and to try and convince Germany that communism is good and that they should accept it. This shows how the Soviets caused the Cold War to begin because they did not want to leave the country that they had demolished after World War II and, for their own greed, decided to take the country under their own

The Soviets could not completely take over the country of Germany because they did not have the strength to do so. This led the Soviets to split the country of Germany in half and created the Berlin Wall, separating West Germany from East Germany. West Germany was more of a free capitalist country with more freedom than East Germany, which was a communist country controlled by the Soviets. This is just one of the examples that the Soviets showed of themselves being power hungry and wanting to take over more and more land in order for political power . After a couple years of the spreading of communism, the U.S.A noticed this and decided that they should put a stop to the spread of communism. The act of doing this was known as containment. Containment was the U.S’s way of preventing communism from spreading outside of the Soviet Union. Containment was heavily enforced and was the United State’s top priority during the Cold War since the U.S was in great shape after World War
