Best Answer

The US was thwarted in their attempts to bring freedom and prosperity to Europe and the rest of the world by Soviet Communism and its oppression of neighboring states. This meant the US had no choice but to defend freedom and democracy in Europe. Essentially it was the Soviet unions fault for suppressing free democracy and free markets.

There are three views that historians have on the cold war:

Traditionalist (Or orthodox)

Revisionist

Post revisionist.

Traditionalists view the cold war as being the USSR and mainly, Stalin's fault.

For the traditionalist historians, they feel that it was the USSR to blame because the USSR and Stalin were:

Wanting to spread their ideology of communism

They were expansionist.

The ideology was basically put into place from the west. I,e make the USSR look like the bad guy. And it was only actually till the 1960's where the revisionists questioned whether it was really the USSR's fault.
