Two-camp theory
the two-camp theory was represented since that 30.9.1947 by the prominent politicians of the USA and the USSR.
It had appeared ever more clearly after end of the Second World War and the gradual break of the anti-Hitler coalition.
She was formulated first by Harry S. Truman in its Truman doctrineof 12. March 1947. In September 1947 followed then a speech of Andrei Alexandrowitsch Schdanow, which represented splitting the world into two different camps now for his part from Soviet view.
In the context of the two-camp theory one accused to the other camp in each case , a wrong democracy understanding to attach and imperialistic goals pursue. Amazingly equal loud thereby the reproaches!
Elements of an also material-political conversion of the two-camp theory are for example:
- the Mars resounding plan (ERP) of the USA
- the active Containment politics of the USA
- the establishment of the Kominform on initiative of the USSR
- the establishment of the RGW (COMECON) throughthe USSR
- the establishment of NATO
- the establishment Warsaw Pact
thus stands the two-camp theory at the beginning of the cold war
