Historiography is the study on how historians create their perspectives of history. In this discussion, we examine how historians discuss the origins of the Cold War.
There are three prominent schools of thought on the origins of the Cold War: Traditionalists, Revisionists, and Post-Revisionists. In Lecture 1, we read articles about each of these prominent scholarly positions.
Write a post on at least two different interpretations of the origins of the Cold War. Which, if any, do you agree with, and why. Make sure you support your answers with evidence from the articles provided in Lecture 1, with appropriate footnotes.
