Answer:

The US and Soviet Union. The cold war was never really a full-blown, bloody war. It was just called a war due to the fact that there were high tensions between the two forces, as well as widespread fear of each other. In addition, the ideological basis of the two were very different(i.e. communism vs. democracy).

Answer:

The Soviet Union

Step-by-step explanation:

The Soviet Union were thought to be at fault for starting the cold war by many historians at the time of the cold war. The reason for this is because the Soviet Union were known to be infiltrating liberated countries and forcing communism upon them which aggravated the western powers.
