Answer uwu <3:

A dispute between President Harry S. Truman and General Douglas MacArthur in 1951, during the Korean War. MacArthur, who commanded the troops of the United Nations, wanted to use American air power to attack the People's Republic of China. Truman refused, fearing that an American attack on China would bring the Soviet Union into the war. When MacArthur criticized Truman's decision publicly, Truman declared MacArthur insubordinate and removed him as commanding general. MacArthur returned to the United States, received a hero's welcome, and told Congress. “Old soldiers never die, they only fade away.”

How did the Soviet Union’s system of government help to create conflict with the United States after World War II?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The answer is A. The Soviet system of government did not allow its people to choose their own leaders, which the United States thought was wrong.

Explanation:

After the Second World War differences between the United States and the Soviet Union increased which led to the Cold War from 1947 to 1991, besides a competence for showing which country that was superior in terms of military force, science and spatial capability, this conflict emerged due to the difference in terms of government. Indeed, in the Soviet Union, the government was based on socialism and totalitarianism, which meant citizens did not participate in a political decision or chose their leaders.

On the opposite, the U.S. had a democratic system and due to this, promoted the idea of democracy in all countries and believed the system of the Soviet Union was wrong or morally incorrect. Thus, the government in the Soviet Union supported this conflict because "The Soviet system of government did not allow its people to choose their own leaders, which the United States thought was wrong".
