Stalin is responsible : He ‘reneged’ on the Declaration on Liberated Europe, He expelled non-communists from the Polish Government , He created a crisis by blockading Berlin, Soviet actions between 45+48 were expansionist , The regime was a brutal totalitarian one, Communism had to expand to survive, The Red Army was an intimidating / provocative presence, The Czech ‘coup’ of 1948 was cynical , Cominform was evidence of a desire for global control, Stalin needed an 'enemy' to justify his dictatorship, Truman (+USA) is responsible : The Long Telegram encouraged a hardline policy, The 'A' bomb was used to gain political leverage over Stalin, Capitalist markets had to be robustly protected , Created a crisis over Berlin by introducing a new currency , Adopted very hostile post war rhetoric (Win, lose, draw, we must win!), NSC68 was inflammatory - building up US military, Marshall Aid was designed to undermine communism in Europe, He encouraged Churchill’s provocative’Iron Curtain’ speech, Marshall aid was ‘$ imperialism’, Truman did not appreciate fully the USSR's security needs, ….or…..: There was mutual hostility - both were culpable, Lack of clarity in post war diplomacy = division, Differing interpretations of the fate of Eastern Europe, Both leaders were stubborn , Differing ideological convictions made some ‘conflict’ likely, Lack of clarity over post war ‘spheres of influence’, Apportioning blame is too simplistic,
