The Main Causes Of The Cold War

The main cause of the Cold War was the differing ideologies between two nations, the idea of Capitalism and Communism. The Soviets or the USSR supported Communism and believed that the world should surrender to the effects of the Communist regime as it would settle the economic crisis surrounding various nations after the war. The Communist regime believed that the wealth and resources of a nation could be controlled by the state, or the government, and therefore, the earned funds would be distributed to each person on a regular basis so that each person within the nation would benefit instead of their being such a large gap between each social class.
