Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. Postwar Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe fueled many Americans' fears of a Russian plan to control the world.
