Origins of the Cold War (Historiography)

Three schools of thought attempt to understand the origins of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union following the end of World War I – they are called the Traditionalists, the Revisionists, and the Post-Revisionists. Each group argues that one side, or the other is to blame for the start of the Cold War. Use the linked sources on the historiography of the Revolution, or find a source yourself on that subject. Describe, in a paragraph of about 200-300 words, at least two different interpretations of the origins of the Cold War. Which, if any, do you agree with, and why? Write an essay of at least 300 words explaining your argument and the available evidence, and respond to at last two classmates with a substantial comment.
