The Soviet Union Flag |
The Soviet Union's main idea was communism. The state controlled all the property and economic activities. They also wanted a totalitarian government with no opposing parties. The U.S., on the other hand, had very different ideas.

The U.S.'s main idea was capitalism and democracy. They wanted private citizens to control almost all of the economic activity. The government would also be decided by the population voting and electing a president and congress from opposing political parties.
So, its seems obvious that the U.S. and the Soviet Union would constantly be at odds. A major conflict was only a matter of time.
