Answer 2

I blame the Russian Tsars. Here is why:

WW1 started when the Austrio-Hungary declared war on the Serbs and the Russians, who had NO treaty obligation, had NO real relations with the Serbs; they were being blantently Imperialistic. This activated the alliances that sent the world into WW1.

The Germans then sent Lenin on a train to Russia to destabilize the area; which had already had revolts in the past hundred years that ALMOST succeeded; revolts that were due to the Russian Tsars' actions and unactions.

Lenin was able to succeed where others had failed; The Germans almost won WW1- but lost and paid a heavy price at the insistance of the French. That lead to the rise of Fascism in Germany, and to Hitler. His racist views thought little of the Russians, since they had been so easily defeated in WW1. His attack failed, and lead to the Russian advance into Eastern Europe.

The Soviets refused to leave eastern europe, and the cold war began due, eventually b/c the Russian Tsar's failures and imperialistic nature.

Answer 3

I think Stalin's paranoia set the tone for the post-war era. I don't think the NATO countries were entirely blameless, but Stalin's excesses made the leadership in the Warsaw Pact nations totally unable to trust even each other.
