Manhattan Project contributed slightly more to the tensions between USA and USSR, as it caused the arms race, which contributed to the outbreak of the Cold War. Moreover, the Manhattan Project also changed USA’s foreign policy towards the Soviet Union, and this also caused the USSR to distrust and fear the USA, which prompted them to use aggressive means, thus exacerbating tensions.]]> 2023-03-26 09:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2531681708 Rating ong_zhi_ning https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2531682053 5
The delay of the opening of the Second Front widened tensions as compared to the Bolshevik Revolution and the first Red Scare, but did not contribute directly to the outbreak of the Cold War like the events in the Third Stage. The delay of the opening of the Second Front contributed to the paranoia and distrust that the USSR had against USA, and also showed USA’s distrust of the USSR due to misunderstandings, henceforth showing tensions.]]> 2023-03-26 09:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2531682053 Rating ong_zhi_ning https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546854817 7
Yalta Conference had a slightly higher rating than the Manhattan Project and the Delay of the opening of the Second Front, because the Yalta Conference showed that there were ideological differences and tensions between the USA and the USSR in a more clear manner. It is quite evident that in the Yalta Conference, the USA and the USSR differ in thought and find it hard to agree with each other, hence heightening tensions. The issue on Germany would also cause further conflict between USA and USSR.]]> 2023-04-07 03:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546854817 Rating ong_zhi_ning https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546856304 8
The Long Telegram was one of the direct causes that led to the outbreak of the Cold War. This is because the Long Telegram was used primarily as a justification by the USA in their foreign policy of containment towards the USSR, which played a significant role in the outbreak of the Cold War. The Long Telegram was one of the most important manifestation of tensions in the Cold War because it showed that the USA had solidified their stance towards USSR.]]> 2023-04-07 03:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546856304 Rating ong_zhi_ning https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546857669 9
The Truman Doctrine was also one of the direct causes of the outbreak of the Cold War, and also one of the most important manifestation of tensions in the Cold War. The Truman Doctrine was one of the first instances of the USA’s application of the policy of containment, and henceforth increased USSR’s animosity towards the USA. ]]> 2023-04-07 03:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546857669 Rating ong_zhi_ning https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546858908 8
The Marshall Plan was an important reason for the manifestation of the Cold War, as it deepened tensions between USA and USSR. USSR viewed the Marshall Plan as a sign of USA’s imperialism and hence created its own Comecon. The Marshall Plan also led to the establishment of NATO, which cemented the divide between USA and USSR.]]> 2023-04-07 03:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546858908 Rating ong_zhi_ning https://padlet.com/ong_zhi_ning/98hefdypij1hbx9y/wish/2546860855 8

The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact contributed to the tensions between USA and USSR, but not directly. This is because there were no direct conflicts that stemmed from the Nazi-Soviet Pact.

Scope [OCW ITO] explicitly, and then make causal links more explicit.

Also need to understand that 1947 Truman Doctrine arguably MARKS the START of OCW.

Once you scoped [OCW ITO], keep asking yourself "so..? how did it result in OCW?"
