This raises even more suspicions on the Soviets' intentions to Germany. By putting the Berlin blockade and not have mutual co-operation, this could inflict repercussions onto the people of East Germany, which has a much bigger scale and size than the Allies actions]]> 2020-03-05 00:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765061 https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765085 USSR actions had a greater impact compared to the US and are more to blame for intensifying the Cold War in Europe. Actions such as Stalin isolating West Berlin, as well as responding to the introduction of the NATO with their own military alliance, the Warsaw Pact. These actions had a great impact in contributing to the amount of mistrust and misunderstanding between the countries. Hence, the USSR has a bigger impact on starting the coldwar and therefore is more to blame for intensifying the cold war in Europe.]]> 2020-03-05 00:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765085 https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765148 The scale of the US influence is further and thus it is more to blame for intensifying the cold war in Europe. While the Soviets were only intentional to defend their own territory through the Eastern Europe states, US rolled out many policies such as the Marshall Plan and created alliances such as NATO to continually gain control of more nations in Europe, thus intensifying the Cold War and forcing a response upon the Soviets.]]> 2020-03-05 00:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765148 https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765181 2020-03-05 00:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765181 https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765464 they mistook soviet intentions in eastern europe as soviet expansionism and overreacted which started the seemingly endless battle of who is better. this eventually led to the truman doctrine which is considered the start of the cold war. if this never happened in the first place, the cold war could have never happened.]]> 2020-03-05 00:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765464 https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454765507

UNder the Marshall plan, economic help provided for countries that are aligned with US democratic values

This means that the US is only going give help to the ‘democratic’ countries around the world, while the Soviet Union is a communist country.

This leads to strain in relations between the USSR and US, because of its difference in ideology and mistrust among the USSR and US.

After holding back on D-day invasion. they let the NAZIS cripple europe so that after the war thier moeny seemed more lucrative to them. Hence buying over influence easily and encroaching on the world more. It is not the USSR who wants land its clearly the US.  After this ploy they claim they are only fighting the USSR. Take for example the missiles in Turkey they say its for fighting off communism but it could also be as easily turned around and fired at others.  Their influence stretches deep beneath the pores of europe and into the very soul of it. Now people prefer coca cola instead of a refreshing sip of sparking kvas.

then when the us tried to be gangsta the soviets wanna flex back and copied the us by creating warsaw pact , comicon plan. this maked the us think the soviet wanna fight then they angry at each other like a couple falling out]]> 2020-03-05 00:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/454766666 https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/457589594 Considering the action taken by the USA during the post-war and the beginning of the cold war, I believe that the USA is more to blame for intensifying the Cold War in Europe. After World War 2, the USA introduced the Marshall Plan in a bid to assist and rebuild Europe. However, on hindsight, this was to coheres the countries which took the plan into the American alliance systems, NATO. The creation of which was to deter an attack by the USSR. However, these actions were highly provocative, as seen from the perspective of the USSR. Therefore, it is highly understandable for the USSR to take similar action to defend itself. Ultimately, as the USA were the first to take hostile actions; therefore, they hold more of the blame for intensifying the Cold War in Europe.]]> 2020-03-10 13:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/leon_choo1_1/fev6ot8qxk78/wish/457589594
