Start of Communist fears was when USA effectively ended WW2 by dropping worlds most powerful bomb on Japan. This was the atomic bomb, which the USSR was yet to fully utilise.
examples - Berlin blockade, U2 incident, Cuban missile crisis
USSR bluff on weapons
Americans had more + superior missiles
Reasons it didnt esculate - was more a game of 'brinksmanship', meaning the two main superpowers (USA and USSR) were simply trying to scare the other country into laying down its weapons, which would bring about greater peace and eliminate the threat of nuclear war. However, the reason it at first esculated into a 'COld War' is that neither side was willing to back down, and so the atmosphere and actions became more extreme.
It took the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963 to make both countries realise their could be no winner.
A telephone hotlink was established between Washington and Moscow, and agreements such as SALT followed.
NOOBU CONTRIBUTION However, the most impotant factor is the new leadership of Russia. Gorbachev was more willing to have diplomatic ventures with USA rather than the previous leaders. Gorbachev also introduced 2 reforms which may seem contentious to the communist hardliners. Perestroika and Glasnost deteriorated the economy of russia, this resulted in less spending in military armaments.

Roosevelt's internationalist policy may not have prevented the war. Earlier U.S. involvement may, however, have made the war shorter and less destructive.
the alliances of European countries creating a balance of powe
Not now, seeing as how it was over over 90 years ago.
Had the Archduke Franz Ferdinand not been assassinated, then maybe the war wouldn't have been declared.
Buchanan could have prevented war by not allowing the Confederate to separate from the Union. Buchanan could have also acted differently on issues of slavery, especially in Kansas.

They could have prevented WW2 by giving in to the Nazis. -That was not acceptable to the British people.
Yes; the bomb was a double edged sword...it would end one war and prevent another one...the cold war (the cold war prevented a "hot" war). The US was already preparing for the "cold war" before WW2 even ended!
It couldn't have, according to Dukish.
It cannot be prevented because they have not made a cure for it.
can anybody just put the right answer. chronologically and understandable!
Ww1 could have been prevented if it wasnt for an assasin who killed the Hungarian archduke and the huns to invade Serbia. Hope this helps some facts could be wrong
Not during the cold war.
There weren't any "war criminals" during the cold war, because the cold war WAS NOT a war. The Cold War was simply a term that politician's came up with regarding the arms race between the communist super powers and the United States and it's allies. The Cold War was actually an ARM's RACE; a military stand-off...who could out do the the other. Who could make the best jet...who could build the best submarine...who could reach the moon first.
