Which of these was not a reason that the cold war was able to begin? soviet fears of western democracies soviet desires to keep germany weak promises by the united states to protect germany a united plan for europe by the soviet union and america

The correct answer should be A united plan for Europe by the Soviet Union and America

Germany was a key figure here because the Soviets wanted to keep it weak while Americans wanted to rebuild it as a democratic place. The Soviets also disliked the fact that there were ideological tensions between the two countries as the Americans hated the communists and the communists hated the Americans.
