Mark Kramer on the Origins of the Cold War

"Two features of the Cold War distinguish it from other periods in modern history. First, it stemmed from a fundamental clash of political ideologies (Marxism versus liberal democracy). Second, it entailed a highly stratified global power structure in which the United States and the Soviet Union were seen to be pre-eminent and, in fact, separate class of countries known as "superpowers", a status that far exceeded the earlier conceptions of "great powers". Both of these features were prerequisites for the Cold War. Neither one in itself would have been sufficient to bring about the fierce, all-encompassing struggle that persisted for nearly 45 years and affected all parts of the globe. 

The notion that both power and ideology were intrinsic features of the Cold War helps us to understand when the Cold War began. Some scholars have sought to date its beginnings back to 1917, when the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia. The radical challenge posed by Soviet communism, the argument goes, caused Western countries to be obsessed with undermining the new Soviet state. This argument is unconvincing because it overlooks the element of power. As long as the Soviet Union was a relatively weak country, which it certainly was until well into the 1930s, international politics did not revolve around a confrontation between the USSR and the West. On the contrary, the world system was clearly multipolar during the two decades preceding World War II, and extensive cooperation took place between “bourgeois” Germany and the communist Soviet Union, including cooperation in military affairs. Not until the Soviet Union emerged from World War II as the dominant military power in Europe - and the United States emerged as the most powerful country in the world, rivaled only by the USSR in the military sphere, did the Cold War truly begin.”

I want Erin and Mark to start talking again.  Last night my mom and I talked for like an hour all about how much I love those two characters and the series I wrote.  I'm hopeful I can get back to them because that Erin is so epic to me.

Writer Thoughts

I think I could write an entire novel on the life of the Cramer family. Maybe that's what I'll do when the fanfiction dries up. Do I have to seek Erica Messer's permission as she created the character of Mark Cramer? Or is my creation original enough, including his first name, that I won't have to worry about it?

In the new fic I'm writing, Mark is showing Hotch no love after what happened in New York.  Its an interesting point of view.
