After World War II, the U.S. perceived the Soviet Union as a threat due to its expansionist policies in Eastern Europe and the spread of communism, which contradicted Western democratic values and capitalism. The establishment of communist regimes in countries like Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary fueled fears of a Soviet agenda to dominate Europe. Additionally, the development of nuclear weapons by the Soviets heightened anxieties, leading to a tense geopolitical rivalry that defined the Cold War era. This fear was further exacerbated by the ideological conflict between capitalism and communism.
