The Cold War began as World War II was ending. American leaders saw the power and ambitions of the Soviet Union as a threat to our national security. The Cold War was a war of words and ideologies rather than a shooting war, although at times the Cold War turned "hot" as in Korea and Vietnam. Basically, the Cold War was a rivalry between the United States as leader of the western democracies, and the Soviet Union and the nations that were controlled by the communists. Some causes of the Cold War included: Attempts by the Soviets and Chinese Communists to influence and take over areas in Asia and Europe. Containment--the policy of the United States to stop communism from spreading to other areas of the world. The Truman Doctrine--a policy of supporting anti-communist regimes with military and economic aid. The Doctrine was first used in support of democratic governments in Greece and Turkey. The Marshall Plan--a massive plan to aid in rebuilding Europe after World War II. Western allied nations, as well as neutral nations, and even the Soviet Union were offered economic assistance. The Soviet Union saw this as a threat to their attempt to gain influence in Europe and Asia. The division of Germany after the war---The Soviets blockaded West Berlin, which was deep within Communist East Germany. The Soviets thought the blockade would allow them to take over all of Berlin. The US replied with the Berlin Airlift, to supply West Berlin. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed in 1949 by the US, Canada, and nine European nations, the first peacetime military alliance in US History. The NATO nations agreed that an attack on one would be an attack on all. The Soviets replied with the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance of communist nations in Eastern Europe. September, 1949, the Soviet Union tested its first Atomic Bomb. The Cold War continued through the decades of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
No, the US began stockpiling immediately after the end of WW2, by the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946 the US stockpile consisted of 5 Fatman type MK-III bombs.The USSR began stockpiling immediately after their first test in 1949.The cold war is considered to have begun in 1947.
WW2 and the Cold WarThere were certainly other contributing factors, but yes, you could say that the situation at the end of World War II led to the Cold War situation in Europe and Southeast Asia. There were many reasons for the cold war and a lot this had to do with relations between the USA and the USSR (Russia). Russia wanted to spread communism through Eastern Europe to create a buffer zone to protect them from any future German invasions, (27 million people died in Russia during ww2) however USA wanted to prevent the spread. Also another reason was the fact that America had dropped the first Atomic Bomb and wouldn't let USSR in on the secret.I hope that helps you a little...
For the Cold War purposes, the only countries "that called the shots" were Soviets and Red Chinese on one side, and the US on the other. Lessor satellite nations of the Communist Superpowers (USSR/Red China) followed the lead of the Communist Superpowers. Britain, France, NATO, recognized the US as the leader for the free world side.
they wanted to rebuild the empire during the cold war.
The treaty of Versailles made Germany lose practically everything and gave them a huge debt towards France and Britain. So Germany soon got vengeful because of it.
There are several factors that lead to the end of the Cold War. These include the weakness of USSR's economy, 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, rivalry between the US & USSR and lastly, US's containment Policy.
