(Why did war time friends becomes cold war enemies)

From the beginning it was anticipated the future confrontation between capitalism and communism, main leaders of the political ideologies United States and Soviet Union will tried to attract different countries to its sides to try to spread out either communism or capitalism some future day. There were two main political ideologies whichcould not subsist together; there were two totally different ideas of how to manage a country meaning that for the world progress there should exist only one ideology as the two ideologies will not result as they don’t have a common interest and a common strategy.
After World War 2, between the years 1945 – 1947 the world enter into the anticipated dispute of powers denominated as the cold war, itwas going to be a silence war were Soviet Union leader by Stalin and USA leader by Harry S Truman will tried to spread out communist and capitalism to the vulnerable stated which are devastated after WWII, USA will left its politic of isolation and will began to involve in the world. This gave a start to a new war which was no exactly as the last one but it will finish with the war time allies inWWII and will became cold war enemies looking for nation benefits like economic, political and ideological towards a future.

Since 1917 after Bolshevik revolution it becomes more clearly the future dispute of powers between Soviet Union and western allies, Vladimir Lenin state that the Soviet Union was surrounded by a “hostile capitalist encirclement” which could mean that the Soviet Union wasthinking that in a future there was going to be a dispute between communism and capitalism for the world integration of two political ideologies.

When the WWII was ending there was crucial moment where the Soviet Union realize the intentions of the western allies which probably could be one of the main reason why the tension increasebetween them when war was coming to an end. Germany was invading Russia and was not receiving help from the allies; they were letting both nations to destroy themselves until Soviet union replay to Britain which help them in 1941, Britain make a formal alliance and United State made an informal agreement, in wartime USA was helping both nations, soviet union and Britain by the lend lease program.Soviet Union receive help but was not immediately millions of people died because of the invasion of Germany, Stalin understood that the real intentions of the allies were that Germany and Soviet Union destroy themselves so they will get rid of them easily and there will not be any presence of Nazis and communist.

When WWII was coming to an end, the problematic decision of how the European mapshould look with the new borders after the war appear, the allies disagree the idea of Soviet Union which were arguing for eastern territory, they wanted a security system in which democratic governments were establish as wide as possible, but Russia was arguing about all the invasion they suffered throw the war and that any other country was so hardly devastated as them, they estimate 27...
