The Cold War began after World War II primarily due to ideological differences between the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S. promoted capitalism and democratic governance, while the USSR advocated for communism and a centralized economy. Additionally, power vacuums in Europe and Asia, along with mutual distrust and conflicting interests, led to a geopolitical struggle for influence, resulting in a prolonged period of tension, competition, and proxy conflicts rather than direct military confrontation.
