What is the sign of the beginning of the cold war (what is the real reason for the outbreak of the cold war)

In modern times, westerners have mastered the right to interpret history. When explaining historical events, westerners often hide the true face of historical events and the side that is not conducive to them, and then make explanations that are beneficial to them, and then let countries compile them into history textbooks for study. This is the explanation of the cold war.

The United States is both the protagonist and the winner of the cold war, and the misinterpretation of the cold war is inevitable.

American orthodox historians believe that the Soviet Union was the initiator of the Cold War. Revisionists believe that the United States is the initiator of the Cold War. Another school believes that it takes two hands to make a sound. The Cold War was born in the interaction between the United States and the Soviet Union, and both sides have responsibilities.

Xu, a China scholar, abandoned Yu's point of view and thought that both the United States and the Soviet Union needed confrontation.

The Soviet Union has always been relatively closed, and the living standards of the Soviets are far inferior to those of other European countries. During World War II, Soviet troops fought all the way to Berlin, and Soviet soldiers saw the high living standards of westerners along the way. Soviet high-level officials were worried about the instability of the people's hearts, just as Russia pursued the French army into Paris and triggered the "The Decemberists" uprising. So the Soviet Union hopes to use external pressure to stabilize the interior.

For the United States, it is impossible for the Soviet Union to be incorporated into the American system. The United States also needs a powerful foreign enemy, which can unite people's hearts and inspire fighting spirit at home, and can make allies unite more closely around them abroad. Then, according to George Kennan's suggestion, the strategy of containing the Soviet Union began to be implemented. The cold war broke out.

Which of the above views is more reasonable?

I think so, too. Americans' views are confusing and hiding the real reasons. Xu's view of abandoning depression continues the consistent style of official scholars, and is in the same strain as high school textbooks and CCTV's The Rise of Great Powers. It seems reasonable, but it is not deep enough.

So, what is the real deep-seated reason for the outbreak of the Cold War? Let's look at the timeline of the outbreak of the cold war.

1946 On March 5th, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered an "Iron Curtain Speech" in the United States, which officially kicked off the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

1947, 12 In March, the "Truman Doctrine" of the United States was promulgated, marking the official start of the "Cold War" between the two camps of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Churchill made a speech from the Iron Curtain, only six months and two days before Japan signed the surrender on September 3, 1945. This interval is really too short.

After the end of World War II, the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain had many things to deal with, and British and American politicians actually had time to make a decision to start the "cold war." It can be seen that the "cold war" is of great significance and is by no means a temporary idea.

In fact, there is another person who also foresaw the post-war confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, and this person is Hitler.

At the end of World War II, before Soviet troops invaded Berlin, Hitler always thought that there would be divisions within the Allies, that the United States and the Soviet Union would break up, and that the Soviets would propose peace to Germany. Because if not, then the United States will occupy the whole of western Europe, the Soviet Union will occupy eastern Europe, and the United States and the Soviet Union will directly confront each other, which is not in the interests of the Soviet Union.

Of course, such a thing didn't happen, and Hitler's wish came to nothing. Because Roosevelt's level is relatively high, he foresaw this very early, so he promised many strategic interests to the Soviet Union at the Yalta meeting, accepted the demands made by the Soviet Union in many territories in Europe and the Far East, and gave the Soviet Union a reassurance.

In fact, before the end of World War II, many people expected that the United States and the Soviet Union would fall into confrontation after the war, including Hitler, Roosevelt and Churchill mentioned above, and perhaps the Soviets also expected it. After all, Russia (Russia, the Soviet Union) has been fighting against the West for more than a hundred years. The Crimean War, the Russo-Japanese War and the armed intervention of the Soviet Union 14 countries are all evidences, which are not difficult to predict.

In short, many people predict that the United States and the Soviet Union will fall back into confrontation after World War II. I just didn't expect the cold war to start so quickly.

Therefore, after the end of World War II, the United States provoked the Cold War in line with people's expectations. It's not strange that the cold war happened, but it's strange that it didn't happen. The United States provoked the Cold War not simply because of ideology, economy, politics or military affairs, but because of the combination of these factors, which can be described in one word: the balance of power on the mainland.

Yes, you are not mistaken, that is, the traditional British artistic ability, the Anglo-Saxon housekeeping skill and the mainland's balance of power policy.

Britain's mainland area is far less than that of France and Germany, and its population has no advantage. The reason why it can dominate Europe for 300 years depends on the "balance of power on the mainland." Europe does not allow hegemony. Whoever is strong, Britain will unite with other European countries to weaken it, so as to maintain the balance of power among European countries.

After World War II, the United States replaced Britain as the world's number one. America is like a big island, America is a big version of Britain, and Eurasia is like a big version of Europe. Therefore, the United States must learn from the British father and implement a balance of power policy on the mainland.

But the strength of the United States is much stronger than that of Britain, and no country in Asia and Europe can contain each other with the Soviet Union. The only Nazi Germany that can contain the Soviet Union has gone up in smoke. Moreover, the outbreak of World War II proved that containment was also unreliable, and France failed to contain Germany.

Therefore, the United States has made some improvements to the policy of "balance of power on the mainland", and no longer uses military bases to personally contain and contain the Soviet Union. The goal is to disintegrate the Soviet Union, destroy the most powerful country on the Asian-European road, and maintain the balance of power in the Asian-European continent.

In fact, the United States has indeed done it. However, the United States does not want other countries to know the real reason for the outbreak of the Cold War. If the next big country knows this, it will be difficult for the United States to launch the next "cold war."
