At this time, the US wants to spread capitalism and the Soviet Union wants to spread communism.
These two conflicting ideologies helped to shape the Cold War. For example, the United States adopted a policy of containment. The goal of this policy was to stop the spread of communism on a global scale. This is why the United States government gave money to countries like Greece, Turkey, France, Great Britain, etc. This was done through laws like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan.
The most significant contributing factor to the Steel Strike of 1919 in the US was the end of World War I, which left many of those workers who had unionized in federal unions with less opportunities for work then prior and during the war.
