ways Stalin could be blamed for the Cold War (1945-1991)

FIRSTLY BOLSHEVISM AND CAPITALISM COULDN'T COEXIST DUE TO COMMUNISM BEING EXPANSIONIST AND UNIVERSAL THEREFORE THEY WOULD CLASH

Stalin didn’t the agreements he made in Yalta

between Yalta and Potsdam he had installed communist governments in Poland and Romania and imposed soviet systems to Eastern Europe

political opposition was banned and opponents were murdered or jailed

the creation of COMECON made sure each country followed the soviet rule

he used ideological language when commending the west and justifying his actions

the establishment of COMINFORM was a clearers sign that he intended to undermine capitalism through national communist parties
