Question Answer
What do western historians claim? The Soviet Union was to blame because it was cold and harsh and determined to spread the evil of communism as far as possible. It refused to allow free elections and set up Soviet-controlled communist governments in eastern Europe.
What were the Americans genuinely concerned about? Stalin's moves in eastern Europe, especially after he refused to allow free elections in Poland in 1945.
The USA did not want to punish Germany severely, but why? They remembered the lessons of 1919 and the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
