Who was Responsible for the Cold War? The West, or the East?

[jorbaud]

jorbaud, the Cold War started during WW II.

I said most of the wars could have been avoided not all.

and Vietnam had been fighting the French for their independence and winning before the United States stepped in.

Exactly, if Vietnam stayed under French control there would have been no Vietnam War, but they changed their government.

Cuba was not doing fine, they did not have a democracy.

They had a republic (a form of democracy) from 1902 - 1959. Then Castro had his revolution.

North and South Korea were not in control of their govt's, it was China/Russia and the United States.

Korea was unavoidable.

Vietnam had an existing rebel gov't successfully winnning back Indochina from it's colonizers.

They were changing from the French government to their rebel government. This changed the government causing tension to grow.
