What was the main reason for Cold war conflicts between the super powers? Differences over political ideologies, the peace terms of world war ii, or the US trade agreements with China
1 answer
The main reason for Cold War conflicts between the superpowers was differences over political ideologies. The United States and its Western allies were capitalist democracies, while the Soviet Union and its Eastern bloc allies were communist states. This fundamental ideological divide fueled tensions and conflicts between the two world powers throughout the Cold War era. Peace terms of World War II also played a role in shaping the geopolitical landscape and contributing to the mistrust between the superpowers, but the ideological differences were the primary driving force behind the conflicts. US trade agreements with China did not play a significant role in Cold War conflicts between the superpowers.
