7 Development of the Cold War United States – U.S. thought that Soviet expansion would continue and spread throughout the world. (“Domino Theory”) – They saw the Soviet Union as a threat to their way of life; especially after the Soviet Union gained control of Eastern Europe Soviet Union – They felt that they had won World War II. They had sacrificed the most (25 million vs. 300,000 total dead) and deserved the “spoils of war.” They had lost land after WWI because they left the winning side; now they wanted to gain land because they had won. – They wanted to economically raid Eastern Europe to recoup their expenses during the war. – They saw the U.S. as a threat to their way of life

Military Reasons – To defeat Germany, US became #1 air power & USSR became #1 land force – France & Britain could not defeat Germany – USSR lacked strong neighbors = regional power Economic Reasons – US economy strengthened by war – US was committed to open trade – Eastern European nations needed a dependable larger power Political Reasons – Democracy triumphed over fascism – Communism triumphed over fascism – USSR resisted Germany – Stalin’s influence in Europe – USSR’s strength prevented instability in the region
