The Cold War started earlier than we thought

According to historian Calder Walton, the Cold War between the US and the USSR actually began much earlier than commonly believed. Walton used KGB material and archives from both Soviet and Western countries to support his claim. He revealed that the Soviet intelligence services were already waging a Cold War against Britain in the 1920s and 1930s, with spies recruiting agents who played crucial roles in later periods. These agents, including the infamous Cambridge spies, were motivated by their belief that capitalism could not handle a coming crisis and that only Moscow could combat the rise of fascism.
