No. Neither did. The Cold War was the result of the time after WW2 and the term comes from a speech given by Churchill. The main reason for the Cold War is the philosophy that world had to be made safe for democracy and that communism had to be stopped. When Stalin was given the Baltic nations he was given power to control a major part of Eastern Europe and half of Germany. The Great fear from that point was he wanted to control the western nations of Europe and the political process expressed this fear. The American buildup of forces in Germany was a prime example of this. They were there to stop a Russian invasion from Poland.
