The cold war have significant impact in changing the international structure of the world. Lots of historian have studied the reason of the outbreak of cold war and analyzed the causes of each countries, here we discuss the causes of the outbreak just after the second world war.

An fierce rivalry between communist and non-communist nations led to the Cold War. It's called the Cold War because it never led to armed or "hot" conflict, except in Asia. There were deep-rooted ideological, economic and political differences between the United States and the Soviet Union before the World War and were intensified as a result of their mutual suspicions just after the war.1 I.

By the fall of 1944, the Red Army had liberated and controlled a large part of eastern Europe.15 By 1945, at the Yalta Conference, the Soviet Union obtained the Curzon Line as her new boundary line with Poland and also the control of the eastern zone of Germany.16 As the war was drawing to a close in May 1945, the Soviet Union quickly consolidated her control of eastern Europe. The Red Army began by influencing the post-war elections. They intimidated the voters and changed the voting lists as they desired. Although the non-communists could still gain some votes, most of the votes went to the communists. Thus the coalition governments formed immediately after the war were largely dominated by the communists. Two of the key ministries - Defense and Military (Police) - were always under communist control.17 Stalin was not satisfied with communist control of eastern Europe. In the meantime, he encouraged the communists to take an active part in the immediate post-war elections in western Europe, but to no avail. (ii) The reactions of the United States: Despite the increasing Russian influence in eastern and central Europe, many politicians in the United States were optimistic about the chances of co-operation with the Soviet Union after the war and did not advocate strong resistance against Soviet expansion. But from May 1945 onwards, the situation was changed. The U.S. government favored a policy of strong resistance against Russia. The first reason was that President Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945. He was succeeded by Harry S. Truman. President Roosevelt was an optimistic man. He seemed to have believed that although eastern Europe had fallen under the influence of Russia, she would keep her promise (made at Yalta) by setting up freely-elected parliamentary governments in the area. So Roosevelt did not advocate strong resistance against 14 President Harry S. Truman. “Truman Doctrine.” Joint Session of Congress. 12 March 1947. 15 Wettig, Gerhard.

He did not believe the communists.He thought that the communists would not set up democratic governments in eastern Europe.He also believed that after the Soviet Union had established her control in eastern Europe,she would continue to extend her influence into western Europe.Thus President Truman favored a policy of strong resistance against Russian expansion. The second reason was that just before the Potsdam Conference was to take place,the United States had successfully exploded her atomic bomb.President Truman thought that since the United States alone possessed the atomic bomb,she could adopt a stiff attitude towards Russian expansion in Europe.19 The third reason was that President Truman was personally disgusted at the non-co- operative attitude of the Russians at the Potsdam Conference.Russia was determined to exact heavy reparations from Germany. (iii)Poor relations between the United States and the Soviet Union: The deteriorating relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were reflected in two minor incidents in the year.Land-Lease was abruptly terminated by the United States and the Russian request for American economic aid for the purposes of post-war reconstruction was ignored by the government of the United States.2021 The poor relations between the East and West were also reflected in a speech by Churchill,known as the Iron Curtain speech.In March 1946,Churchill made a speech at Fulton,Missouri in which he said,"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic,an iron curtain has descended across the continent....Behind that line lie all the capitals of the central and eastern Europe.Warsaw,Berlin,Prague,Vienna,Budapest,Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia,all are subject in one form or another not only to Soviet influence but also to a very high and increasing control from Moscow."The Fulton speech increased the American suspicion of Soviet aggressive designs in Europe.22 In my opinion,the effects of this cold war must also be noted as importance.These causes got heated up resulted in the Berlin crisis in 1948,the formation of military alliances such as NATO and Warsaw Pact,the cold war in East Asia where a real war 18"The Yalta Conference."Office of the Historian,Bureau of Public Affairs,United States Department of State.6 December 2012. 19"The Potsdam Conference."Office of the Historian,Bureau of Public Affairs,United States Department of State.6 December 2012. 20 Weiss,Stuart L.The President's Man:Leo Crowley and Franklin Roosevelt in Peace and War.Carbondale, Illinois:Southern Illinois University Press,1996.p.220 21"The Lend-Lease Act."About.com.6 December 2012. 22魏啸飞魏啸飞,《美国文明史》,北京大学出版社,2008,第255-256页 5
