Did World War 1 cause the cold war?

Answer 1

The two are pretty unrelated. The only connection I can make is after WW 1, the communists in Russia overthrew the government and took control. They used the horrors of the Great War to rally people against the czar. Actually, the tsar (or czar) was toppled in March 1917 by much broader opposition. The attempts by the new government to continue fighting against Germany, when Russia was at the end of its tether, led to the Bolshevik revolution of November 1917. Already in 1918-19 many Western countries, haunted by the 'spectre of Bolshevism' tried unsuccessfully to overthrow the new regime. There was suspicion, fear, hatred and rivalry from the outset.

Answer 2

Absolutely not! The cold war and WWI were YEARS apart! WWI was in 1911 and the cold war was like in the 1940s. The cold war was a result of WWII. Since Aldolf Hitler and the rest of Germany surerendered to the Allies Germany fell apart. Beerlin, the capital city was divided into four sectors. The West was split into three:English, French, and American. The East was under Soviet control and it was communist. The East was poor and did not make any efforts to repair and fix up the buildings that were destroyed by the bombings of WWII. The West had a market ecomomy and was democratic, and had higher living standards. This is a brief summary, obviuosly. WWI and the cold war were two different things and the cold war was a result of WWII not WWI.

Answer 3

World War 2 was caused as a consequence of WW1. The treaty signed at the end of the first war, Versailles treaty, was unfair towards the Germans. Hitler wanted to get back the territory he lost, leabestrum more living space for Germans, make German nations stay together and destroy communism. In summary the unfairness of WW1 treaty brought revenge so WW2 started.

Answer 4

The cold war was not a war. We simply just called it that name; the cold war was really a "stand-off between two sets of nuclear armed nations waiting for an excuse to fire atomic missiles at each other." It's alot easier to simply say, "Cold War." WW1 was a real shooting war, just like WW2, Korea and Vietnam Wars. Hundreds of thousands of men died fighting those wars. No one died in the Cold War because there wasn't one.

Answer 5

The German people as a whole were unhappy about the Treaty of Versailles (which ended World War I). Most of them felt (justifiably) that its terms were onerous and unfair; there was a perception that the German people had been "sold out" by special interest groups, and one of these was "the Jews".

The harsh economic conditions brought about by the terms of the treaty and the worldwide Great Depression in the 1930s helped the National Socialist Worker's Party (the Nazis) come to power, and the mistrust of Jews generally provided the Nazis with a convenient scapegoat to persecute. Ergo, the Holocaust.

Answer 6

Because Germany was invovled in world war one with the France and was forced to pay for all damages of the cities and home and make peace to those theyhave wrongly and Hilter refuse to stand and realize that the jewish people are the ones responible for the death of Jesus and also want revenge for their honor!.
