Overviews and causes
The two countries involved the Civil War were the United States and the Soviet Union. The cold war lasted from 1947 to 1991. The Soviet Union and the allies relationship began to unravel when the U.S was capitalist and Russia was Communist. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin met at Yalta to discuss about defeating the Nazi's.
Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill met at Potsdam to continue discussing the meeting at Yalta. Three postwar goals for the United States were to have a free market, capitalism, and to have Germany rebuilt. Three postwar goals for the Soviet Union were rebuilding the country of Germany, Improving living conditions for people living in the Soviet Union, and building new allies. 5 characteristics of a communistic country are you can't own guns, almost everyone is poor, no free media, no freedom, the government owns everything. 5 characteristics of a capitalist country are private property, free speech,owning items,limited government,and a complex market. The Soviet Union buffened up some of the countries around the western border to prevent against any attacks that might happen during this time.
