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).

Truman Doctrine is the name given to an implanted foreign policy during the Truman administration and directed to the block of capitalist countries in the pre-Cold War era. This doctrine was intended to prevent the spread of socialism, especially in capitalist nations considered fragile. With the end of World War II, Europe was destroyed and weakened politically and economically, it emerged with two world powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, which represented capitalism and socialism respectively. The decade following the end of the war was a time of rapid economic expansion and population growth in the country.
