    • “The Yugoslav dictator might


    be a “son-of-a-bitch,” the new

    History
    Connection
    When did the Cold War Start?
    Historians debate the true start of the Cold
    War, but through applying our knowledge
    we could argue the following:
    With the dropping of the Atomic Bomb
    With the defeat of Germany in Europe
    With the defeat of the Germans at
    Stalingrad in 1943
    History Connection

    Remember, Stalin was allied with the


    Nazi’s at the beginning of the war [Nazi-
    Soviet Pact 1939] and only when Hitler
    turned on him did Russia join the
    Allies.
