Because of the definition of the Soviet ideology which stated that war with the capitalist nations of the world was inevitable, peace was paradoxical. The Americans in a sense fostered the Soviet position by executing a policy of containment against the Soviet Union in order to keep it in check and from spreading any further than it had already spread.

From the late fifteenth century, the Atlantic O...
