    This document is a worksheet for analyzing the origins and inevitability of the Cold War based on the first 30 minutes of an episode of the CNN Cold War documentary series. The worksheet contains evidence from 1917-1945 either for or against the position that a Cold War was inevitable. Key events discussed as evidence for inevitability include Soviet isolation after the 1917 revolution, Stalin's dictatorship in the 1930s, and his suspicious actions in Poland in 1944. Events presented as possibly preventing inevitability include US outreach to the USSR in the 1930s and the wartime alliance against Nazi Germany from 1941-1945.
