The USS Maine was sunk in the Harbour of Havana, Cuba, during a revolt of the cubans against Spain. Public opinion in the USA was that Spain was to blame. Starting as a diplomatic issue between Spain and USA, rapid escalation resulted in war between the two countries.

The answer is Palestine.
In 1947, the state of Israel was created. This meant that the British gave up control of Palestine.
Before the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the British controlled what was then known as the 'Mandate for Palestine'. This was the name given to the Ottoman province of Palestine which was conquered by the British after the first World War.
As the Ottoman Empire kept on disintegrating, the British were able to develop Palestine into a small colony and eventually turned it into a modern country called the State of Israel.
The Soviet Union did this because they wanted to rebuild and expand their country after massive destruction and loss of life during the war. Essentially this aggressive expansion and annexing of these countries made the world realize that the Soviets were a massive threat to the world even though they were allies during WWII. I hope this helps :)
