What triggered the war?
The Cold War started mainly because the United States did not trust
communists and the USSR did not trust capitalists. So there was no trust
between the two countries.
When WWII ended, the Soviet Union and the US were clearly were the two
strongest countries for some time to come. In addition, the Soviets were
really worried about invasion from the west and so they wanted to dominate
Eastern Europe.
When the Soviets did that, the US thought they were trying to dominate Europe
and the world. When the US opposed Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, the
Soviets thought the US was plotting to destroy them. Thus leading to the start
of the Cold War.
