THE ORIGINS OF THE COLD WAR
HOW DID THE COLD WAR PERIOD SHAPE RELATIONSHIPS AFTER WORLD WAR II?NSC
NOVEMBER: HISTORY VR1 | 2021


Source 1A

This excerpt from the History.com website describes the relationship between the United States
and the Soviet Union after World War II.

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought alongside
each other as allies against the Axis Powers. Nevertheless, the relationship
between the two nations was a tense one.

The Americans had long been very cautious (suspicious) about Soviet
Communism and worried about the Russian leader, Joseph Stalin's tyrannical
rule of his own country. For their part, the Russians deplored (offended)
America's decades-long refusal to accept the USSR as a legitimate part of the
international community, as well as their slow entry into World War II, which
resulted in the deaths of millions of Russians. about it.

After the end of the war, these grievances (criticism) matured into an
overwhelming mutual mistrust and enmity. Post-war Soviet expansion in
Eastern Europe fuelled many of the American fears of a Russian plan to
dominate the world. Meanwhile, the USSR deplored (offended) what they saw
as American officials' hostile rhetoric (aggressive style), arms buildup, and
meddling attack on international relations. In such a hostile atmosphere, no
single party could fully bear the blame for the Cold War; fact is, some
historians believe it was inevitable. At the end of World War II, most US officials
agreed that the best defence against the Soviet threat was a strategy called
"containment".



In his famous "Long Telegram," the diplomat, George Kennan (1904-2005),
explained his policy: The Soviet Union, he wrote, was "a political power
fanatically committed to the belief that with the U.S. no permanent modus
vivendi” [agreement between parties who differ], can be. The result was that
America's only choice was the "long-term, patient but firm and ready (vigilant)
pinning down of Russian propensity for expansion". It must be the policy of the
United States," he declared before Congress in 1947, "to support the free
people who have resisted the attempted oppression (subjugation)...by outside
pressure." This mindset determined American foreign policy for the next four
decades.

Concerns the Americans had about the USSR mentioned in Source 1A

• Americans had long been suspicious of Soviet communism.
• The United States was concerned about Stalin's tyrannical government.
• The Soviet Union's expansion in Eastern Europe was a concern.
• The Soviet Union's expansion into Eastern Europe fuelled many Americans' fears about a
Russian plan to control the world

The best defence against the Soviet threat according to the source: Pinning

The USSR resented the Americans for the following:

• The Americans' decades-long refusal to accept the USSR as a worthy part of the
international community.
• The sluggish entry of the United States into World War II which caused the deaths of
millions of Russians.
• The United States' arms build-up.
• The United States' interference in international relations.
• US officials' hostile rhetoric (aggressive style).

A sentence from the source to imply that the United States and the Soviet Union were not
always enemies.

• "During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union
fought together as allies against the Axis Powers."

The Cold War in historical context

• A state of political hostility (through threats, propaganda and
other measures) without actual war.
• The state of hostility that existed between Soviet Bloc countries
and the Western powers between 1945 and 1990. /A period of
ideological and geo-political tension between the USA and the Soviet Union after the
Second World War

What is meant by "Russian propensity for expansion".

• The Soviet Union / Russia gained control of Albania, Hungary, Bulgaria and East Germany
after WWII and they became satellite states of the Soviet Union.
• The Soviet Union / Russia had support in countries like Vietnam and Cuba by offering them
support.
