D. Cold War competition began between the U.S. and the Soviet Union right after the end of World War II, when its alliance unraveled.
After World War II, the two superpowers emerged as the dominant global powers, with vastly different ideologies - the U.S. advocating for democracy and capitalism, and the Soviet Union advocating for communism. Tensions escalated as both countries tried to expand their spheres of influence, leading to the development of nuclear weapons, the formation of military alliances (NATO and the Warsaw Pact), and a series of proxy wars fought in various regions around the world. This marked the beginning of the Cold War competition between the U.S. and the Soviet Union that would define the geopolitics of the second half of the 20th century.
