What is one reason why russia does not trust the us allies after World War 2?

Answer 1

That actually began long before World War 2.

Britain and Russia had been historical allies for centuries until the US independence took place in which Russia continued to trade with the US despite British embargoes.

Russia continued to support and assist the US until the 1918s when Russia over threw the Imperial court. The US took great offense to this as it saw Russia as one of its most beloved allies and further saw the new government as the destroyer of a great nation.

By the time World War 1 had come around the US had only just begun to rebuild a good working relationship with Britain. A history that predates the US as the conflict is rooted in the US population that is more than 15% Irish and nearly 65% of Americans reporting some Irish heritage.

So, by the end of WW2 the US had a grudge against the new Russian government, the US and Britain were barely repairing older ties, the British has a grudge with Russia over supporting the US, and the Russians were edgy of both due to the uncertainty of support for their new government.

At that time the US was still closer friends with Russia than with Britain. It wasn't until the US agreement to join NATO that Russian - US ties began to fall apart. It finally went to complete animosity with the US support of long time ally China in their communist revolution despite having condemned to great extremes a similar movement in Russia.

It wouldn't be until the US abandoned McCarthyism outside of North America entirely and the founding of the Russian Federation that the US and Russia would begin rebuilding their historical friendship.

Russia and Britain have continued to have escalated bad relations since the founding of the Russian Federation.

Answer 2

Russia was communist, something capitalist America disliked about them since the end of World War One. Russia was accused of spying on America, a notion vindicated when they successfully test-fired a nuke way before they were expected to. Even though it was recovering from war damage, Russia was America's most powerful competition, eclipsing the ally Britain and the then poor China. The Nazi-Soviet pact also caused great distrust toward Russia. Lastly Russia was in a good position to make the weakened nations of Europe into Soviet satellite states, something it already had done with Eastern Europe.

Answer 3

They did not like the idea of the Americans having bigger and stronger bombs then them. Russia started making secret bases to figure out the secret to an atom bomb. This lead to the cold war!
