Because of the following reasons, the end of the Second World War was considered the
beginning of the Cold War:
i) The Second World War came to an end in 1945 when the US dropped atom
bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, forcing Japan to surrender.
ii) However, the dropping of the two atom bombs on the Japanese cities became a
controversial topic. The US supporters believed that it was necessary to do so to
stop the war quickly, while the critics believed that the US did it on purpose to
show Moscow their superiority.
iii) The end of the Second World War changed the arenas of conflicts. The fire of the
Second World War extinguished but left some cinders.
iv) Now, the defeat of Germany and Japan paved way for the United States and the
Soviet Union to become the greatest powers in the world.
v) These two superpowers were rivals. Both sides had the capacity to start or
retaliate against an attack and cause lots of destruction, but both could not
afford to begin war. This was known as ‘logic of deterrence’.
vi) Thus, the rivalry between the two superpowers remained 'cold'. Both sides
followed the logic of deterrence and began to make military blocs. Smaller states
were forced to link to one superpower
