BlakeThere 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.
