There was no direct war between the two countries due to fears of nuclear escalation. The spread of communism by the Soviet Union threatened the US, while the US acquisition of nuclear weapons frightened the Soviets. Differences in political ideologies and fears of attacks from the opposing country increased tensions and distrust between them.

    Factor lead to cold war

    The Cold War was a time of pressure and hostility between the United States of America and
    the Soviet Union from the mid-40s to the last part of the 80s. It started with the finish of the
    Second World War. It was known as the Cold War on the grounds that there was no active
    war between the two countries, which was likely because of the dread of nuclear acceleration.
    There were numerous aberrant conflicts like the Vietnam and Korean wars. There was the
    Cuban rocket emergency in 1962 which was the nearest the world ever went to a nuclear war.
    An American U2 spy plane took photos of Soviet middle of the road ballistic rockets
    equipped for conveying nuclear payloads. The Soviet Union sent a sum of 42 medium-range
    rockets and 24 moderate reach rockets to Cuba. The US took steps to attack Cuba over the
    issue. Eventually the Soviets eliminated the rockets on America's guarantee of not attacking
    Cuba.

    The Soviet Union needed to spread its ideology of socialism around the world, which
    frightened the Americans who followed majority rules system. The procurement of nuclear
    weapons by America caused dread in the Soviets. The two nations dreaded an assault from
    one another. The Soviet Union's move of making command over Eastern Europe was a main
    consideration for US doubts. The US President had an individual abhorrence of the Soviet
    chief Josef Stalin. America was irritated by the Soviet Union's activities in the piece of
    Germany it had involved. The Soviets expected that America would utilize Western Europe
    as a base to assault it.

    The United States and the Soviet Union spoke to two contradicting frameworks of
    government. In the United States, the public authority was chosen by free races, in contrast to
    the Soviet Union. Individuals could frame political parties to voice their political
    assessments.

    The United States needed to support streamlined commerce all through the world. The Soviet
    Union needed to shield off her own circle from international commerce. These distinctions
    prompted a lot of sick inclination between the United States and the Soviet Union
