Describe what caused the tension between the u.S and the Soviet Union

History
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]4 years ago
6 0

Some of the deeper issues that caused tension between the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)  were that the USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government.  The Cold War was mostly a tension between these worldviews.

There were also immediate conflicts and pressure points as the Cold War began in the late 1940s (after World War II).  One of those issues was that the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not.  (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.)  When the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers -- which brought significantly more tension to the situation.   Further tensions developed over which nations would be aligned with each of the superpowers -- either with the USSR and communism and with the USA and its democratic, capitalistic worldview.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a more democratic government.

Explanation:

Industrial revolution (industrialization) can be defined as a period of significant change in economic and social manufacturing process characterized by the use of handicrafts and agrarian methods to the use of power-driven equipments and machines. Basically, the industrial revolution began in Great Britain (England) between 1760 to 1840 and eventually spread across other countries of the world.

The dominant industry of the industrial revolution in Great Britain in terms of modern equipments, level of output, number of employees, capital invested and quality of product was the textile industry.

Furthermore, humans and animals were largely used as a means to generate power, execute tasks or do certain things during the production and distribution process.

However, in the advent of industrialization and technological advancement, machines were invented to replace human and animal power.

Some examples of such inanimate sources are Steam plants, Nuclear plants, Wind etc.

Hence, industrialization led to increased demands by the public for a more democratic government i.e government of the people, by the people and for the people.
