Write a letter to a friend where you answer this question. You should include:

VOCAB (see board)

Sources from the Source Pack.

Consider:

Differences in their systems of government, Communism versus Capitalism.

Fear of aggression from the other side, Soviet domination of Eastern Europe versus Western support for a prosperous Germany, NATO and its atomic bomb.

Mutual hostility of leaders, mutual distrust of Truman and Churchill, and Stalin.

Tension over issues such as Eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey, the Marshall Plan, Germany and Berlin.

What was seen by one side as a justified act of self-defense was seen as a threat by the other.
