Stalin's anger towards the West stemmed from a combination of ideological differences and security concerns. After World War II, he perceived the United States and its allies as threats to Soviet security and communism, particularly as they opposed the spread of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. The West's refusal to recognize Soviet interests and the establishment of NATO further fueled his distrust. Additionally, the legacy of the Great Purge and the capitalist encirclement narrative contributed to his antagonistic stance.
