The lure of the Soviet argument was strong, until Stalin make a few mistakes and George Marshal outmaneuvered the Russian diplomats, for the first time in the western world, the USSR was reviled as a nationalist bully instead of an WW2 ally.

(Part 3 of 8) America sent its best to China after WW2, yet China soon turned communist...how could this have happened? Who was to blame? Who lost China? …. or maybe we have it all backwards. China was the example of strategic discussion making and our failure to learn the lessons from China would lead to American mistakes later in the Cold War and even today.

(Part 2 of 8) America was forced into becoming an internationalist on the world stage. Like other challenges facing Americans,  they did it with boldness, a lot of it and figured out what worked later. In the middle of WW2 the US pushed a policy that crated the IMF, World Bank and the UN.
