Rivalry between the USA and the USSR began with the Russian Revolution in 1917 when the USSR became Communist. The USA deeply feared and hated Communism because it was not democratic and it did not allow religion. The USSR disliked the US because they had sent troops to Russia to try to defeat the Communists and restore the Tsar. In 1939 Stalin, the leader of the USSR, upset the USA and her allies by signing the Nazi-Soviet pact with Hitler.
However, from 1941 when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, the USSR, USA and UK were allies, working together to defeat Germany and Japan. At the Yalta conference in February 1945, the allies appeared to be getting on well.
Rivalry between the USA and the USSR began with the Russian Revolution in 1917 when the USSR became Communist. This scared the USA because Communism was not democratic and it did not allow religion. The main long term cause of the Cold War was that both sides had different ideologies (beliefs).
