    However, just because Stalin and Truman had vastly different political ideologies doesn’t mean the Cold War was inevitable. A large part of why the Cold war escalated to the height it did was because of a general lack of cooperation and understanding and an unwillingness to discuss territorial dispute from both the Soviets and Americans. Ironically, despite having deep feelings of hatred towards each other’s country Stalin and Truman met in person only one time (Patterson 108).

    The conference was the first meeting to include Stalin. His backing and America’s emergence as the leading supplier to the war effort forced Britain’s concurrence to a 1944 cross-channel invasion. This was the tipping point when the strategy changed from the Sun Tzu philosophy of the British to the Clausewitzian approach of the American’s. The new plan became one focused on a decisive attack against Germany’s center of gravity; the Third Reich.…
