the US push to promote democracy around the world.

Explanation: After WWII the United States sought to promote free elections, open markets, and democracy (e.g., Marshall Plan, Truman Doctrine), which clashed with the USSR’s goal of securing friendly, often Soviet-controlled regimes and a buffer zone in Eastern Europe — a major source of Cold War tension.
