The United States and the Soviet Union had different political and economic ideologies.
Explanation:
The Cold War was never declared war, instead, it was a war on different political and economic ideologies. After the end of WWII in 1945, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the two main nations that saved Europe from Nazism.
