I believe that the Soviets started it since the U.S. wanted to prevent communism from spreading outside of Russia so they began helping other nations. One nation happened to be Germany which angered the Soviets going into war with the U.S.

The Cold War was not so much of a war but a period of time where the US and the Soviet Union competed in many different ways and where any slightest action could have possibly started world war 3. However this era was not started by one or the other, it was started by both nations through one striving for expansion of power as well as land and influence and the other protecting those who have their freedom threatened. Not only do they have mutual influence into the starting of The Cold War but people on each side of the spectrum are seen to blame the other as the person that started this idle war which is why, both started The Cold War.

I think the cold war was started by the Soviet Union because they created the iron curtain and tried to spend communism to other countries as well as take over them.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the Cold War was started by the Soviet Union. I think this because the USSR lost a lot of people in the war and didn't want to be "weak" anymore and wanted to become a global superpower. They also wanted to expand their power, which they did by trying to spread communism. They started the War but America made it a problem by trying to fight back the USSR with containment and other stuff. The US is the one who started atomic weapons but the USSR is the one who learned how to make them to make others believe it to be a threat. I think the Cold War was ultimately started by USSR but the US also "fought" back which made it officially a "war."

# data[].attributes.body
I think the cold war was caused by the Soviet Union. They had such a set mindset of being this overpowering nation. They tried spreading communism to more and more countries knowing the effects of it. They were more of bullies to other little nations whereas the US tried helping them. Not saying that the US is 100% innocent, but it kinda seems as if the US are the parents, and the Soviet Union is the rebellious child that just won't listen.

I believe that the soviet union was the responsible for the cold war because of the fat that they was to gain the fore of communism into other countries, without their consult. Also because they were trying to influence the other countries.

I say that the Soviet Union caused the Cold War by wanting to spread communism when other countries didn't want it. The U.S. didn't want this to happen so they started providing aid for those weaker countries. Which caused more conflict between the USSR and U.S.

# data[].attributes.body
The Soviet Union was the cause of the war, they wanted to spread communism as another way to gain power. they tried to spread it to weaker countries at the time because it was easier for them to covert. The U.S. tried to keep communism where it was originally and aiding countries who asked, because they did not want to be under a communist rule.

The Soviet Union began the Cold War, as they attempted to gain as much power as possible when other countries were vulnerable. Aggression such as this is what begins war, as unwarranted aggression cannot be expected to remain uncontested. By being expansion-hungry, the Soviet Union silently declared that it was ready and willing to go to war to get what it wanted.

The Soviet Union wanted more power and did not want to stop conquering smaller and weaker nations and the US was not having it so they started a conflict based on different motives and beliefs.

I believe the Cold War was started by the Soviet Union since their goal was to spread communism to every  European country they could, and even across European borders. In other words, to other countries who were even non-European. So it seems that the United States wanted to stop the Soviets from spreading their communist beliefs and ideology, and give help to all of those countries that were in need.

The soviets just really wanted to flex their power like the US had done before, since it had power after WW2. They also tried to influence communism upon the globe.

The Soviet Union started the cold war by forcing it's communist ways into countries that it had conquered during World War 2. They also raised tensions by creating a wall and blockade in West Berlin.

I think both sides, the US and the Soviet Union, were responsible for the Cold War. But mainly the Soviet Union because it was the one that forced weak countries to fall under communist regime without these countries' consent.

The Soviet Union wanted more power and have communism spread and how more area to control and control everything in there path. But in the other hand US tried to control most of it because they wanted to stop all this and regulate what others do, so they tried to take all power as well. so mostly the person started the cold war first was the one who made the decision to make communism wide spread and get more power.

The Soviet was the one to start the Cold War because after WW2, many countries didn't have anything and so the Soviet decide to share their idea of communism to them. However the U.S didn't allow this and thought communism was a bad thing that should not be allowed. The Soviets didn't listen t the U.S and continue their plans which then led them into the Cold War.

After WW2, the Soviets and the US were the only two nations who benefited out the war to the point they had stable infrastructure and economy. The soviets began spreading their communist beliefs in Berlin in which the US used " Containment" to make sure that the ideology does not spread beyond and cause tyranny etc... in 1947, Greece and turkey were in desperate need of aid from the US so they can have a stable economy and infrastructure they claim that they were gonna fall into communist ideology which made the US support them. in short story it was the soviets that cause the Cold war.

I believe that the soviets started the war. The U.S as well as others would not have joined in if the Soviets would have just stopped trying to spread communism throughout Europe. The U.S was simply trying to stop what the Soviets were doing before it caused anymore problems.

I believe that the soviets caused the cold war, as they were the aggressors in the cold war. They were Nation that either forced or tried to force communism on other nations, and then the US would react and try to stop the spread of Communism, as they saw Communism as both a threat to Democracy and Capitalism.

While the war was not caused by one side in particular, the aggressive attempts of the soviets to spread their ideology seems to take the most blame for the conflict. Stalin was a brutal dictator, and the terrible effects of communism on the people that practiced it proved ample justification for the U.S. to fight back.

I think that the cold war was something caused by both parties. That both the U.S. and the USSR were responsible. The soviets were responsible for trying to spread communism and the U.S. was responsible for trying to stop it which was seen as a threat to the soviets.

I believe that in order to have a war, there must be two or more sides to a conflict. Although the USSR actions may irrational and even evil, it is also important to see that even good and righteous acts can spur a conflict. The US  and Soviet Union share the cause of the cold war due to their grudge and actions against each other.
