Stage I of the Cold War U.S. Nuclear Weapons Monopoly USA rapidly shows it is prepared to use the ultra-destructive device in same way as conventional weapon. Believed U.S.S.R. never be able to make an atomic bomb: 1. Soviet Iranian border (oil rights- threat of atomic bomb works) *U.S. introduces Baruch Plan for control of nuclear material. Rejected by U.S.S.R. 2. Balkans/Yugoslavia (Greece next door! Civil war. Truman doctrine) 3.
