The major force of the Cold War was the conflict between the
ideals of the western democracies and the ideals of the communist
nations, most notably, the Soviet Union. The American commitment to
democratic government, the belief in liberty for the individual,
and a capitalist economy were incompatible with the ideals of the
Bolsheviks and the creation of dictatorial, repressive, and
ruthless state power, as exampled by Stalin in the USSR. While the
United States did favor economic influence via trade relations with
other nations, the Soviet bloc of nations favored actual take-over
of other areas by military force or the theat of military force, to
make other nations come under the influence and control of the
Soviet/communist way of thinking. MrV
