Detailed explanation-1: -Origins of the Cold War The Americans and the British feared the permanent Soviet domination of eastern Europe and the threat of Soviet-influenced communist parties coming to power in the democracies of western Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the Cold War, communism was the main concern of the United States. The Soviet Union had a communist economy where most property was owned by the government. The United States had a market economy, or capitalist economy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Postwar Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe fueled many Americans’ fears of a Russian plan to control the world. Meanwhile, the USSR came to resent what they perceived as American officials’ bellicose rhetoric, arms buildup and interventionist approach to international relations.
Detailed explanation-4: -The long-term causes of the Cold War are clear. Western democracies had always been hostile to the idea of a communist state. The United States had refused recognition to the USSR for 16 years after the Bolshevik takeover. Domestic fears of communism erupted in a Red Scare in America in the early Twenties.
