Detailed explanation-1: -Following the defeat of the Axis powers, an ideological and political rivalry between the United States and the USSR gave way to the start of the Cold War.
Detailed explanation-2: -We call it the Cold War, but in October 1962 the world seemed about to incinerate. The Soviet decision to install nuclear missiles in Cuba triggered a crisis with the United States that threatened a global holocaust.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although relations between the Soviet Union and the United States had been strained in the years before World War II, the U.S.-Soviet alliance of 1941–1945 was marked by a great degree of cooperation and was essential to securing the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Detailed explanation-4: -The economy had been devastated. Roughly a quarter of the Soviet Union’s capital resources were destroyed, and industrial and agricultural output in 1945 fell far short of pre-war levels.
Detailed explanation-5: -It was called the Cold War because neither the Soviet Union nor the United States officially declared war on each other. However, both sides clearly struggled to prevent the other from spreading its economic and political systems around the globe.
