who was responsible for the cold war?

Question

is it the united states or the soviet union or .... ?

Answer 1

According to many experts the Cold War started when the WWI Allies invaded Russia at the end of WWI to punish the Russians for breaking with the Alliance after the Revolution (the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk), and, in the words of Winston Churchill, ""to strangle at birth the Bolshevik State". The period between the German Invasion of Russia and the end of WWII was only a temporary relaxation. So the responsibility is the Russians', for stopping a war they couldn't win, or the British, the French and the Americans, for invading unilaterally a former ally and trying to interfere in it's internal affairs.
