Causes of the Cold War in 1945

American fear of communist attack
* Truman’s dislike of Stalin
* USSR’s fear of the American's atomic bomb 
* USSR’s dislike of capitalism
* USSR’s actions in the Soviet zone of Germany
* America’s refusal to share nuclear secrets
* USSR’s expansion west into Eastern Europe + broken election promises
* USSR’s fear of American attack
* USSR’s need for a secure western border
* USSR’s aim of spreading world communism
This feeling of suspicion lead to mutual distrust and this did a great deal to deepen the Cold War
