Both had a large nuclear arsenal. Both had the largest military forces in the world. Both had the habit of supporting dictatorships around the world. America supported right wing fascist dictatorships and the Soviet Union supported Left leaning dictatorships (which it itself was). In supporting these dictatorships both had a hand (either directly or indirectly) in the slaughter of millions of people worldwide. Both had sophisticated Intelligence services that monitored their own civilian populations and monitored populations abroad. That's all I can think of right now but I'm sure there is more.

Explain how differences between the Soviet Union and the West led to the Cold War?

In the post-World War II era, different value-systems, world-views, and socio-political ideals were the the main causes of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. As a communist country, the Soviet Union's basic commitments were quite different from the democratic-republican commitments of America. At the same time, the Soviet Union's tremendous suffering during both world wars affected its aggressive foreign (and domestic) policy during the Cold War, as well.
