1947 - Truman Doctrine
Truman said he would protect countries under the threat of communism by sending money (richer they are, more they favour capitalism)
Co-operated with Russia during WWII rather than taking a stand
1945 - Atomic bombs were a statement of power
1918-1921 - US and British troops sent in to contain communism in Russian Civil War
Created tensions
Roosevelt died and was replaced by Truman, who was inexperienced and less understanding
Should have been more understanding that Stalin wanted the Bloc countries to protect Russia - 1/6th of their population had been lost
Truman allowed Iron Curtain speech to be delivered
USSR were to blame
1947 - Stalin gave BLOC countries official independence yet controlled and chose leaders
Claimed they were his only protection against Germany
Trying to impose communism - America was acting on self-defence
Wouldn't stop until a new leader came, which eventually happened
USSR and US
1945 - Yalta conference: Roosevelt and Stalin couldn't come to a compromise
Stalin lied about giving the BLOC countries a democratic vote
1945 - agreements between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin as to what to do about Nazis and Germany
America testing nuclear bombs
So is Russia, just not as fast
Stalin lied about government he said he'd set up in Poland with communists and capitallists
1946 - Stalin and Truman suspicious of each other
Hired spies from their embassies in each other's countries
Truman allegedly planning world domination
US preparing for war
Actions of defence misinterpreted as ones of aggression
Britain were to blame
1946 - Iron Curtain speech depicting Russia and communism as evil
