Hey guys I am writing a 25 page paper for history class about the inevitability of the Cold War. I am going to say yes, it was inevitable. I am just having trouble getting my outline together. I am required to have about 10 pages of background information while the other 15 pages should be analysis on the topic (basically arguing why it was).

I just don't know how to structure my research paper.
I was thinking of giving background information on the USSR and the USA since the end of WWI up until the end of WWII. But any ideas on what I should focus on? Any good outlines that would support me?

Thanks, I really appreciate any help!
