What roles did ideology and nuclear weapons play in the development of the cold war tensions between the superpowers?
The superpowers each thought that the other was going to attack them. As one of them increased their stock of nuclear weapons, the other did so as well. In case of war, each side wanted to have more nukes than the other to assure their enemy's destruction. At the same time fear increased and as each country got more nukes tensions were higher. It was also a battle between Captialism and Communism ideology.
Three reasons why the Cold War started?
I think you are getting it back the front. After World War Two there were two major world powers - the USA and the Soviet Union. Both had been very distrustful of each other before the war, but were allies during the war due to a common enemy. In the post war era both sides went back to their mutual mistrust. Since the war had changed the balance of power in the world, both sides feared the other side, thinking they would try to expand their influence and possibly overthrow them. This led to the cold war. So the presence of two superpowers led to the cold war, not the cold war leading to two superpowers.... in fact the cold war finally led to the collapse of one of the superpowers (USSR)
