The Soviets didn't allow the Polish government in London to join the communist government
This government was sponsored by Moscow
This first factor was the start of the period of the Cold War]]> 2017-05-15 15:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171876546 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171877454 The Soviets extinguished civil liberties
These liberties were in the former Nazi satellite of Romania
These actions were justified by pointing to an equivalent United States manipulation of Italy, or so they claimed]]> 2017-05-15 15:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171877454 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171878020 The Soviets protested that the United States was meddling in Eastern Europe

The Soviet Union accused the United States of "atomic diplomacy"
Atomic diplomacy means maintaining a nuclear monopoly to scare the Soviets into diplomatic concessions
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes thought the atomic bomb gave the United States "bargaining power"]]> 2017-05-15 16:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171878641 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171879219 By the middle of 1946, the wartime Grand Alliance was only a memory slowly fading away
The Soviets and the Americans clashed in every front 
The two Cold War powers also backed different groups in Iran
This was where the United States supported in bringing the pro-West shah to the throne
The former allies built up their zones independently]]> 2017-05-15 16:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171879219 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171881413 2017-05-15 16:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171881413 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171881802 2017-05-15 16:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171881802 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171883018 2017-05-15 16:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171883018 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171885565 2017-05-15 16:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171885565 macvicar_ee https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171887113 2017-05-15 16:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/macvicar_ee/i3nah1cmnkkc/wish/171887113
