The transformation of the Soviet Union from an ally to a competitor was primarily influenced by the ideological differences following World War II, as the U.S. and the USSR emerged as superpowers with opposing capitalist and communist systems. Key events, such as the Iron Curtain speech by Winston Churchill in 1946, the Berlin Blockade (1948-1949), and the establishment of NATO in 1949, heightened tensions. The onset of the Cold War was further exacerbated by the arms race, the Korean War, and the Cuban Missile Crisis, solidifying the adversarial relationship between the two nations.
