In 1946, Comrade Ambassador George Kennan sends his famous 'Long Telegram' back to the Soviet States of America. In it, he details that the European monarchies cannot foresee 'permanent peaceful coexistence' with the communist Americans. He said that the monarchies would 'do all that they could to weaken the power and influence of the Western Powers on colonial, backward and dependent peoples.' This telegram provoked the S.S.A. into a long-running Cold War with the European powers.
