The Cold War was a complex geopolitical conflict primarily between the United States and the Soviet Union, driven by ideological differences between capitalism and communism. Both superpowers contributed to the escalation of tensions through actions such as military alliances, nuclear arms races, and proxy wars. While some historians emphasize the aggressive policies of the Soviet Union under leaders like Stalin, others point to the U.S. response and containment strategies as significant factors. Ultimately, the responsibility for the Cold War is shared, reflecting a combination of actions and miscalculations by both sides.

If the blame for the Cold War must fall upon a single person, then that person would definitely be Stalin.
The Soviet Union and the United States.
The nuclear weapons of the cold war still exist. They were in responsible controlled hands during the cold war (which is why there wasn't a war). The problem: Keeping them out of un-controlled hands.
Many people feel that the United States was primarily responsible for the Cold War due to a fear of communism but many more, including myself, blame the war on the Soviet Union.
The West was not at fault for the Cold War. The Cold War started because the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin wanted to control Europe and the rest of the world. The Soviet Union was responsible for the Cold War, because they wanted to replace Nazi tyranny with Communist tyranny.
Rebuilding much of Europe and starting the United Nations.

Basically they are actually not and stalin was always going to revert to war
A:Not really. President Gorbachov, more than any other, was responsible for the end of the Cold War. His policies of "Perestroika" (restructuring) and "glasnost" (openness) brought the confrontation between the old Soviet Union and the United States to an end.
