By 1949, the Cold War began in various ways in 1945. The most important factor in the development of the Cold War since the end of the Second World War was the fact that the iron curtain was established in 1946, it separated the Eastern European Communist countries. The Western non-communist country has made a considerable contribution to the hostility between the West and the Soviet Union. Other reasons for the development of the Cold War were due to the original ideological differences, the Marshall Plan and Trumanism, the blockade of Berlin, the extent of its influence, and NATO which unified the Western countries.
The origin of the Cold War is a controversial topic. There have been many reasons for the development of the Cold War between 1945 and 1949. First, there was an ideological conflict between the West and the Soviet Union. The Western side firmly supports capitalism, but the Soviet Union is enthusiastic about communism. Because of this ideological conflict, the Soviet Union elected to send troops to Eastern Europe right after the withdrawal of the Nazis, which exacerbated the tension. Traditionalists believe that the Cold War was caused by Soviet attacks. Therefore, what America does is trying to contain the Soviet Union. Behavior by the Soviet Union, which is considered "aggressive", is offset by US actions. Historians since 1991 stated that the Cold War is a consequence of the fear of Western European Soviet power. So to a certain extent, the Soviet policy is the cause of the origin of the Cold War.

This is the midst of the cold war, and the tension between the Soviet Union and the United States is very serious. - From the beginning, the Manhattan plan is synonymous with idea of death, destruction, war. But without the first worries about manufacturing the weapons of mass destruction by the United States, few people believe that social change is bigger than reducing bombs. Before scientists knew the fame of nuclear fission, nuclear power generation was hardly considered.
August 29, 1949, the Soviet Union exploded the first atomic bomb at the semi-paratinsk test site in Kazakhstan. The case ended US monopoly on nuclear weapons and promoted the Cold War. In the 1950s, arms race competition became the focus of the Cold War. The United States tested the first hydrogen (or thermonuclear) bomb in 1952 and defeated the "super bomb" made by Russians. When the US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles announced this policy called "collective retaliation" in January 1954, the political situation of the Cold War became clearer - any major Soviet attack would be massive nuclear Due to the reaction "mass retaliation", the most important byproduct of the Cold War - intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) has emerged
