The Causes???
The causes of the Cold War were the lack of mutal agreement.Stalin did not keep the agreements he had made with the Western Allies about holding free elections after the war in countries occupied by the Soviet Army.This scared the West,they believed that Stalin would try to take over the world by force . Communist stated that Communism would take over the entire world eventually. The Americans did not tell Stalin about the Manhattan Project, which was the building of the A- bomb. After using A-bombs against Japan sucessfully, the USA refused to share the technology with the Soviet Union. This scared the Russians, and they began to think that the USA may start a new war against the using A-bombs.
