possible things that contributed and led to the cold war would be the soviet union refusing to become part of the UN for a long time. Truman's dislike of Stalin. Stalin also felt that america and britain were delaying D-Day, causing more Soviet losses in a plot to weaken the Soviet army. Almost sixty times more Soviets died in the war than the Americans. There was american fear of communist attack. USSR's fear of the American's atomic bomb. USSR's dislike of capitalism, etc. the cold war affected the united states because the CW was the United States' preeminent international concern, directing all of the nation's major foreign policy decisions. The United States was guided generally by containment which was to keep communism from spreading, the containment applied to a world divided by the cold War, a struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.
