Allied powers or Axis powers..



i think its equally

ok forget what i said about the axis..that was a typo

Answer 1

Allied powers. Specifically the British Minister of Munitions, Winston Churchill. After Lenin overthrew the First Provisional Republic formed after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, he signed a separate peace with Imperial Germany in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The war continued for the other allied powers for about one more year. Churchill convinced President Woodrow Wilson to dispatch U.S. troops to Archangel and Murmansk in Soviet Russia to "guard Allied munitions". Most of those troops were from a Michigan National Guard Regiment. However, they were under operational control of a British Brigadier General. Beginning in Feburary of 1918, they wound up fighting the 25th Red Army division on both sides of the Dvina River, southeast of Murmansk. Many died. Most of the dead lie in the veterans' section of the White Cross cemetery in Detroit. Some are still under the frozen tundra in Russia. So, we invaded Soviet Russia in early 1918.
In the 1920s, Soviet Russia sent a diplomatic Consul to the U.S., with proper diplomatic credentials. He was arrested and imprisoned. It wasn't until the 1930s that diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union was extended by the U.S. government.
It started long before the post-World War Two period. It got exacerbated by the Soviets sending in communist governments into Eastern Europe after the Red Army had occupied those lands on their way to Berlin and defeat of Nazi Germany. It got worse when that nation (Germany) which had inflicted over 30 million Russian casualties in two World Wars received membership in NATO.

Answer 2

It's the fallout of WWII. After we dropped the bombs on Japan (AND FREAKED THE WHOLE WORLD OUT), and our scientists leaked the knowledge to other nations it started Nuclear Proliferation. Most people will disagree, but the Cold War was started when Russia became a Nuclear Power, when they became as much a threat to us as we were to them. Add that to Russia trying to spread Communism and America trying to stop it and you get M.A.D. The Cold War really took off with the military doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction M.A.D.

Answer 3

when Stalin kept control of Eastern Europe after WW2, the Cold War was on. Recall Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech. It was accurate. After that, numerous provocative moves by both sides occurred but the first major move was Stalin's land grab.

Answer 4

Joe Stalin's monumental distrust of the western democracies was the cause of the Cold Waw. Actually he distrusted his own generals and most anyone who could be in a position to threaten him...

Answer 5

The U.S. and USSR in vain attempts to secure ideological supremeacy, in the political vacuum following WW2

Answer 6

Axis was done with after ww2. Communist was our adversary in the cold war. we was tring to protect a country from falling to communist. they invaded we took a stand.

Answer 7

Stalin. Roosevelt, Truman and Churchill never trusted him.
