First sentence: While it is impossible to put a firm date on the 'outbreak' of the Cold War, it is clear that the 12 months from July 1946 to June 1947, which saw a change in tone of politics in Washington, were decisive in the development of the East-West tensions and had considerable impact on developments in (West) Germany.
