Abstract
Drawing inspiration from a recent book by Paul Betts this essay encourages pupils to think differently about the origins of the Cold War. It offers three sources that teachers can use in the classroom to explore how the Second World War coloured and outlined early Cold War attitudes and competition. It suggests that these sources can help pupils to better understand the worldview of those in the post-war West and consequently more fully grasp the context in which suspicion between East and West developed.
