The Cold War was a rivalry between the United states and the soviet union for control over the postwar emerged before WW2 had even ended. U.S. presidents roosevelt and harry s truman and the soviet premier joseph stalin never really trustedd one another, even while working together to defeat the Nazi. this mutual mistrust actually began as far back as 1917, when the us refused to recognize the new Bolshevik government after the Russian revolution. stalin also resented the fact that the United States and Great Britain had not shared nuclear weapons research with the Soviet Union during the war and was unhappy with the countries's initial unwillingness to engage the germans on a second front in order to take pressure off of the Soviets. Additionally, Stalin was irked by the fact that truman had offered postwar relief loans to Great Britain but not to the USSR
