1Topic 4: Who was to blame for the Cold War?
4.1 Communism vs Capitalism
● USA/ USSR relations began breaking down in 1945 because:
○ Removal of common enemy= Germany had been defeated so there was no longer a
need for allied cooperation which had been extensive during war
○ Ideological differences= one was capitalist and one was communist meaning there
was little trust of one another and meant they had different ideas of how to reconstruct
Europe after end of War
○ History of hostility= things such as USA involvement in Russian Civil War and not
being invited to Munich conference angered Stalin and USA was angry about Nazi
Soviet pact
● had different ideas of how to reconstruct Europe after the war and the countries were run by
different ideals (one reason for breakdown of relations)
Area of Conflict Communist ideal (fairness & equality) (Marxism) Capitalist ideal (equal
opportunity for all)

economics be much is made, when must be sold by & what price it is supply and demand)
