The Cold War.
During World War 2, the United States and Soviet Union Fought together as allies against Axis Powers. however, The Realtionship between the two nations was a tense one. Americans were suspicious of Soviet Communism and worried about Joseph Stalin's Tyranny power over Russia. Un-fair rule of his very own country. For stalin's people, the Soviets decline the Americans' help and treatment after many decades refusal to treat USSR as a worthy part of the foreigh community, even for thier late entry into World War 2. Which Sadly killed tens of millions of russians. After the war ended, guilt transformed into a evenloping sense of mutal distrust and enmity. Postwar Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe fueled many Americans' fears of a Russian plot to take over the world. Meanwhile in the USSR came to decline what they heard from American officials' bellicose rhetoric, weapon manufracturning and interventionist approach to international relations. in such a dangerous ambiance, no single party was entirely to blame for the Cold War;in fact, some historians believe it was impossible.
