I didn't label the school of thought (examiner reports say you don't have to). I said the extract blamed the USA for the end of the war time friendship with the USSR, however not for the development of the Cold War. I argued that the historian blamed the development Cold War on the different political language of the allies. I answered in this way because I felt this paper was similar to a paper I did before (May 2017 paper 31). What did you say for the interpretation and what do you think about my answer?

I pretty much said the same thing. I labeled it post revisionist although I was very wary as I know if you get it wrong it can restrict your mark dramatically but I was feeling pretty confident the more I wrote so I added it in. It seems like a lot of people are just saying revisionist bc of how the USA is blamed but I felt like there wasn’t complete exoneration of the USSR and, as you said, there was a suggesting if miscommunication and lack of understanding because of the different political languages. So basically the same idea as you
