Probably started back in WWII when we dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, then Nagasaki, without warning their neighbor and enemy and our theoretical but paranoid ally, Joseph Stalin. I'm sure he realized that we had a weapon we could push him around with, which is why they had one five years later. I don't know what it cost him, but his fear of our influence fueled quite the over-reaction, which caused us to also over-react.

So.

After the U.S. bombed Hiroshima, we should look at Stalin's perception of the event to understand the origins of the governments' thinking behind the Cold War that followed.
