                        1. Truman said he would protect countries under the threat of communism by sending money (richer they are, more they favour capitalism)
                        2. Co-operated with Russia during WWII rather than taking a stand

                                1. Should have been more understanding that Stalin wanted the Bloc countries to protect Russia - 1/6th of their population had been lost

                                      2. Trying to impose communism - America was acting on self-defence
                                        1. Wouldn't stop until a new leader came, which eventually happened
                                      3. USSR and US

                                            1. America testing nuclear bombs
                                              1. So is Russia, just not as fast
                                              2. Stalin lied about government he said he'd set up in Poland with communists and capitallists
