The above cartoon was published in November 1945, two months after the conclusion of the war. Given what you have read and learned in the interactive tour and in your study of the Cold War, how do you interpret this cartoon? Is it possible, as Russell suggests, to bridge the gulch? Or was the emergence of the Cold War inevitable?
