Answer:

The Soviet Union and the U.S. were primarily responsible for the Cold War because they were the two biggest superpowers of their respective government and economic types. The United States was the best Capitalistic and Democratic country, while the Soviet Union was a Communist government. This led to proxy wars between the two, most notably the Vietnam War.
