We will talk about the leading up to and end of The Cold War. First, Personalities of the leaders. Secondly, The new Divisions of Europe. Third, Yalta and Postdam Conference. All of the paragraphs will explain step by step the process of The Cold War. You will see that the personalities of the leaders who started The Cold War. Stalin was crazy and couldn't agree with anyone. He was like Hitler and killed many people. The difference is that he didn't care who he killed, he killed anyone that didn't agree with him.

During the cold war Europe basically split into Eastern Europe and Central Europe, It was referred as the "iron curtain".The short distance between Alaska and Russia was know as the "ice curtain". The Soviet Union annexed most of the Western Europe. The Allied forces (besides russia) got most of the Central and Western Europe. After WWII the Allied forces split Germany into 4 zones controlled by each country. The 3 western allies ran there half in a some sort normal matter, but Russia ran there quarter communist. Tensions grew on the differing opinions of how to govern the best. Germany's capitol, Berlin, was split in two by the Berlin Wall.

These are the personalities of the leaders. Stalin was a self taught, very discipline man. He read many books, 20,000 books on History and Literature. He read up to 500 pages a day. He was obsessed with blackmailing, torturing, and executions. Roosevelt was a very friendly, outgoing, and instantly likable. He was great enthusiasm and excitement. And he was never afraid to speak up. His hands shook so badly that he wouldn't even be able to put cream in his coffee. Churchill was know was as a Cavalier Colonel. He was a English soldier, historian, and politician. Truman was very admired as a leader. Truman could be really revealing where Roosevelt never showed anything. Truman looked younger than his age.

The Postdam Conference occupied Germany from July 16 to August 2,1945. It was held at Cecilienhof in Postdam. Participants were the Soviet union, United Kingdom, and the U.S. They were gathered to decide how to administer punishment to the defeat Nazi Germany. The goal for the Conference included to establishment of post-war order, peace treaties issues, and countering the effects of war. Following the Postdam Conference, The Yalta conference was held in Feb. 4-11, 1945. It was sometimes called the Crimea Conference and codenamed the Argonaunt Conference. The Yalta Conference was the wartime meeting of the heads of the government of the U.S., United Kingdom, and Soviet Union. It was intended to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of the war-torn Europe. President Franklin D.Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin all represented the Yalta Conference. Stalin wanted to divide Germany into five different states. But the others disagreed which cause conflict.

The United Nations was created in 1945 after the League of Nations failed to prevent World War ll. It was started because everyone realized that there should never be a third world war. The UN promotes international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and achievement of world peace. It all came about because in 1939 Franklin D. Roosevelt first used the term 'United Nations' to talk about all the allied countries. It became official on April 25, 1945 when the UN Conference on International Organization began in San Francisco. Over fifty governments and a number of non-governmental organizations involved in drafting the Charter of the United Nations. Today there are 192 countries as well as all the sovereign states besides Vatican City. The organization is run on donations made by the countries and states that participate. It also has six official languagues that include; Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

In conclusion, after Russia and U.S. helped Germany they couldn't decide what to do with Germany. That is what started the Fighting which lead to the Cold War. The Cold war was not physical fighting it more like mental games. There were many threats sent between Russia and U.S. For example U.S. had Nuclear bombs and Russia found out because they had spies in America. This caused many threats between the two countries. It could have ended the world if the bombs were launched.
