- Revisionists said that Truman's use of the atomic bomb without telling Stalin was the start of the Cold War.
- John Lewis Gaddis first published this idea in 1972.
- The post-revisionists argued that neither Russia or America was to blame, but that the Cold War was the result of misunderstandings on both sides, and the failure to appreciate each other's fears.
- Russian historians such as Zubok and Pleshakov have been able to study the Soviet Union's secret files for the first time.

Communists carried a red flag when they seized control of Russia in 1917. Many people in other countries then began to fear that the "reds" (communists) would try to takeover their country as well.After World War I, many Americans feared that communists were plotting to take control of the U.S. This fear came to be known as the Red Scare. Similar Red Scares took place after World War I in Italy and Germany. After World War II another Red Scare swept across the U.S. Americans once again feared that communist agents were sneaking into the U.S. and planning to destroy the American way of life.
