I think by spring 1945 Churchill was quite frightened by the fact the the US were taking their troops out of Europe and putting their main force against Japan. That left Europe in situation Churchill vs Stalin....It would take a nice time sending the troops back in Europe.
Of course there was the atom bomb but how many were left in storage after the bombing of Japan? One? How soon could they get more? And IŽd be thinking of the Russian spies all over the system....Could they bring down the system before more A-bombs could be made or would the US have to give up because the Russian spies would sabotage the system? Frankly I was surprised by the % of spy infiltration; check the "spies liek us" section"...
No3: Would the US be interested in Europe situation ? Taking part in another war -again- might not be that interesting after awhile. So what the Russians can have the continent...
