Question

Which of these was not a reason that the Cold War was able to begin?

Soviet fears of Western democracies


Soviet desires to keep Germany weak


Promises by the United States to protect Germany


A united plan for Europe by the Soviet Union and America

Answer 1

The correct answer should be A united plan for Europe by the Soviet Union and America

Germany was a key figure here because the Soviets wanted to keep it weak while Americans wanted to rebuild it as a democratic place. The Soviets also disliked the fact that there were ideological tensions between the two countries as the Americans hated the communists and the communists hated the Americans.
