Second World War East And West
2,396 wordsCold War The Cold War was the result of Stalin adopting a policy contrary to the Yalta Agreement.

In their view, the origins of the Cold War, however, do not essentially lie in the aftermath of Yalta, but in the inevitable clash of capitalism and communism. The fact that Stalin adopted a, in their opinion aggressive, policy was not so much the result of security, but the expansionist nature of Lenin-Mar...
