Cold War
The cold war refers to the period of tension, between the western allies, made up of United States of America and Britain, and the Soviet Union( Gaddis 2). There is a division of when exactly the cold war started, with some part of historians arguing that it started towards the end of World War 1, and others believing that it started towards the end of World War 2. Still, both sets of historians will agree that this so called cold war, became concretely evident, after the world war 2. It is important to note that these two powers, the USA and USSR, fought as allies, to end the World War 2, and defeat the Nazi regime, led by the cruel Hitler.

Economically, the USA preferred the capitalist free economic system, while the USSR preferred the command economic system. Politically, the USA was for democracy, where leaders would be elected through an open political process, while the USSR, believed in the passing down of power, within an elite group, or family( Gaddis 5).

The USSR, for example, felt that even though the allied forces of Britain and USA had come in to help her defeat the Nazi, she was the one who did battle directly on many fronts, against the Nazi. The western allies, and especially Britain, felt that USSR had claimed to have delivered the killer blow to Nazi, when they conquered Germany, but in real sense, they would not have managed it were it not for their help. The mistrust between these two former allies continued, and led to the following factors becoming key to the cold war;
Extension of Russian Influence in Europe
Russia had established a significant territory in Europe towards the end of the second world war. This, it had done through the red army liberating many territories in eastern Europe.
