Cold War

I think the Cold War is absolutely the fault of the USA. As Kaylan's mentioned in class the plan for WWII was to obtain Soviet aid following the conclusion of the war in Europe. The war in Europe ended, and the Soviets were prepared to join us. The Japanese had already said that upon the Soviets joining the US they would surrender. There was no need for blood shed. There was no need to bomb innocent people, in the name of "saving American lives." All that would have been required to end the war was the USSR's official declaration of war on Japan, but the US decided to make a power play, and began a never ending struggle for domination.
