Up till the second world war, Europe was at the centre of world power. After world war two this power shifted to the USA and the USSR.
The Cold War developed from the conflict between the US and the USSR, which sought to become the dominant world power. The US opposed all communist governments, while the USSR supported many, and established puppet regimes in Eastern Europe.
After World War II, tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union arose primarily due to ideological differences, with the U.S. promoting capitalism and democracy while the USSR advocated for communism. The power vacuum in Europe following the war led to conflicting interests over post-war reconstruction and influence in Eastern Europe, resulting in the division of Europe into Eastern and Western blocs. Additionally, events such as the Berlin Blockade and the arms race contributed to the growing mistrust and hostility, culminating in the Cold War.

The involvement of Germany, Italy, France, Britain, Russia/USSR, and the United States. Also, Europe was the main theater of war in both conflicts.
There were thousands of airmen of both sides shot down in Europe in WW2.
After World War II, both the US and the USSR were primarily concerned about the spread of influence and ideology. The US aimed to contain communism and prevent its spread into Europe and beyond, promoting democratic governance and capitalism instead. Conversely, the USSR sought to expand its communist ideology, secure its borders, and establish a sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. This mutual suspicion and conflicting aspirations led to the onset of the Cold War.
The USSR was with the Allies - they were against the Germans
