To fully analyze the causes of tension which became the Cold War and role of the United States one must go the countries’ origins. Russia had a system of expansionism inherent within its history. From 1500-1800, Russia began to demonstrate expansionist tendencies (Gascoigne 1). This characteristic would spawn similar actions after the Second World War, when a war torn Europe lay bare and defenseless before the Iron Curtain. During the First World War, Russia initially sided with the Allies until the Bolshevik Revolution in 1918.
The Cold War HIS/135 Assignment The Cold War Before World War II Britain, France and the United States allied with Russia to combine forces against Germany. The war had a devastating effect on the land and people outside the western hemisphere. After the war the United States and Soviet Union emerged as the world’s superpowers replacing Germany, France and England (Davidson, 2005). The United States power was supported by a growing economy, large military and the atomic bomb. In contrast the war took a toll on the Soviet Union, their lands were in ruin but they still had a formidable military (Davidson, 2005).

January 5, 2011 Cold War Constructivist View During the end of World War II, areas of frustration were still being shown as a new war had been presenting its face on the other side of the world. As a war between the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union began, neighboring countries showed fear of a possible world war. From 1945 to 1991 this war known as the Cold War, put millions in fear for their lives. As a result of fears that many had during the first and second world wars, many became afraid of the continuation. Along with fears of the past came the difference of politics as the Soviet Union, also known as the USSR was a communist country and the United States was a capitalist society.
