I have to state three causes and effects of the cold war.

Causes:
-The Soviet union was trying to get surrounding countries to become communist
-The acquisition of atomic weapons by America caused fear in the Soviets.
-Both countries feared an attack from each other.

Effects:
-America was trying to stop them from doing this and prevent non Communist countries from becoming communist.
-Both the United States of America and the Soviet Union built up huge arsenals of atomic weapons and ballistic missiles.
-The military blocs NATO and The Warsaw Pact were formed

Do they add up/make sense?

I agree.
I would reword the first cause: Soviets wanted buffers between itself and Germany and Nato.

Another effect is Soviets closed off their society from the better off west, and many things we had for consumers (like appliances, electricity, telephones, cheap quality food, autos) they did not have.
