The Origins of the Cold War is a high debated topic. There are countless reasons why the Cold War developed between 1945-1949. For starters, the West and the Soviet Union had a clash of ideologies. The West firmly stood by capitalism while the Soviets had a fanatic belief in Communism.

While others say the course of action taken by the US only polarized the US and the USSR unnecessarily and accelerated the Cold War. Therefore, the Soviet Union is responsible for the outbreak of the Cold War but only to a certain extent.
