Causes of the Cold War• The Cold War (1945-91) was one of perception
where neither side fully understood the intentions and ambitions of the other. This led to mistrust and military build-ups.
• United States – U.S. thought that Soviet expansion would
continue and spread throughout the world.– They saw the Soviet Union as a threat to their
way of life; especially after the Soviet Union gained control of Eastern Europe.

Causes of the Cold War• Soviet Union
– They felt that they had won World War II. They had sacrificed the most (25 million vs. 300,000 total dead) and deserved the “spoils of war.” They had lost land after WWI because they left the winning side; now they wanted to gain land because they had won.
– They wanted to economically raid Eastern Europe to recoup their expenses during the war.
– They saw the U.S. as a threat to their way of life; especially after the U.S. development of atomic weapons.
