World War 2: In World war 2 the Soviet Union was an important ally of the United States, in fact it was the United States that had warned the Soviets of Stalingrad. The two being alliances during World war 2 help their relationship, however obviously couldn't prevent the inevitable, however if the US wasn't to help the Soviets, then it's quite possible that the Soviets would have lost the war after Stalingrad ( Nazi's take Moscow) and Nazi's would beat the Axis which would mean no Cold War so...

ps The picture shows the commonwealth, because there is no way that the US would be able to make a picture were the US and communism are friends.

As many of you may know the Cold War's roots began before even WW2. With conferences and meetings that the US refused to allow the Soviet Union to attend. Such behavior belittles a nation and creates tension. Such meetings like the Munich Conference, Atlantic Conference, Washington Conference(1st one), Washington Conference (2nd one),Malta Conference[ Just to name a few]. With the pre War hatred for the western culture that paved the way to the cold war.
Key Terms Include

Cold War: the state of political hostility that existed between the Soviet bloc countries and the US-led Western powers from 1945 to 1990.

Important Figure
