Does the collapse of the Soviet Union prove that communism doesn't work?
No, the collapse of the USSR does not actually prove that communism doesn't work, any more than the failure of Joe's Fish and Chips proves that restaurants don't work. The failure of the Soviet Union and its satellite states is just one example in which a paranoid version of communism didn't work. It may well be that it is possible to do it better. Although I offer no guarantees.

Why were the US and Soviet Union natural enemies?
Yes, the tension between to two major victorious Allied powers led to the countries being natural enemies. The alliance was strained from the beginning with both countries having different political goals in mind for postwar society. Hitler tried to divide the two because he could tell that there was an unnatural alliance between the democracies and the communist state of the Soviet Union. Stalin knew about the atom bomb prior to be being told about it at Potsdam because of his espionage ring in the United States. He did not trust America and therefore resorted to spying on his own ally. After the bombs were dropped on Japan, the Soviet Union needed to feel that they were equal to America in terms of military strength and weaponry. This led to the great nuclear arms buildup and the Cold War.

Wars and mutual assured destruction?
During the Cold War many thousands of nuclear weapons were built by the two opposing camps of the US and the USSR. The purpose of these weapons was not to use them, thereby destroying the human race and making the entire world too radioactive for any person to survive, but rather, it was just a threat. This was formally described as the MAD doctrine, Mutual Assured Destruction. If war were to break out between the US and the USSR, the amount of nuclear weapons involved would be so great that we would be assured that both nations, along with all other nations, would be destroyed. Although this seems like a crazy basis of defense policy, it actually did work. The US and the USSR never attacked each other directly, although they constantly maneuvered for greater international influence, up until the final collapse of the USSR, from its own internal weakness.
What two events ended the cold war and when did they happen?
The tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991.

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.
