Best Answer

The Cold War was caused by harsh feelings by the Soviets toward the United States for two main reasons: 1) After the fall of Germany in WWII, the country was split into four parts. The capital of Germany, Berlin, was well within the Soviet Union boundary and it was agreed that the city would be controlled by all of the "big four" countries, which angered the Soviets. 2) The other reason the Soviets had harsh feelings for the United States was that in WWII, the United States was trying to find a way to defeat Japan without a mainland invasion, which would cost America upwards of two million lives. The solution was the atomic bomb. All of the ally nations were included in the development process of the bomb, except for the Soviets, which also angered them. These are the two main causes of the Cold War
