At the end of World War 2, The Western Nations of the allied forces wanted all of the European nations to be freed and allowed to be self ruling AND democratic. Democracy hating Dictator Stalin was not going to do that with the nations he took from the Nazi Germans. The continual conflict over this matter between Stalin and FDR and Churchill ended up in a stale mate. Stalin got his nations to keep under communist Soviet rule and the other half of Europe the western allies liberated were allowed to be free and democratic. This sparked The 50 year Cold War.

∙ 11y agoThe US wanted to spread democracy and defeat communism, while the Soviet Union wanted communism to succeed and take over democracy. Countries that wanted the same goals as either country joined either side, and the result was that Europe was divided between democracy (Western Europe) and communism (Eastern Europe). This turned into the Cold War.
