What postwar issues caused the western allies and the soviet union to disagree?

History

Murrr4er [49]4 years ago

One issue:  Tensions over the East Germany / West Germany and East Berlin / West Berlin division of territory.  

  • The Soviets tried to impose a blockade of Berlin, and the US responded with the Berlin Airlift to get supplies into West Berlin.

Another issue:  How governments in Eastern Europe would be reconstituted after World War II.  

  • The Western Allies wanted free and fair elections and democratic countries to develop, whereas the Soviet Union was looking for governments in Eastern Europe that would align with its communist system and provide a security buffer against what it saw as capitalist imperialism. 

Those were two specific issues.  Underneath it all was a bigger, philosophical issue:  The USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government.  The USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government.  The Cold War was mostly a tension between these worldviews.

Why are islands so important when it comes to imperialism?
Nookie1986 [14]

The word “imperialism” is widely used as an emotive—and more rarely as a theoretical—term to denote specific forms of aggressive behavior on the part of certain states against others; the concept refers primarily to attempts to establish or retain formal sovereignty over subordinate political societies, but it is also often equated with the exercise of any form of political control or influence by one political community over another.
