AB  - After the World War II, there was another war involving two 
  blocs namely; the communist on one hand and democracy on the other. This war 
  was known as the Psychology War or Ideology War because there was never a direct 
  military engagement between the two. The democratic bloc was led by the United 
  States while the communist bloc was led by the Soviet Union which resulted in 
  war, known as the Cold War. This cold war crisis occurred immediately upon the 
  end of the Second World War. The rise of communism and territorial expansion 
  policies developed by the Soviet Union was suspiciously viewed by the United 
  States as opposing their political approach as a capitalist nation. The Soviet 
  Union was seen as a threat towards the United States as the world hegemony. 
  The objective of this essay is to analyze issues that led to the America-Soviet 
  conflict during the Cold War era. This study is based on the analysis of documents 
  resources obtained from the United States National Archives and Records Administration 
  (NARA), Washington DC and also from the UK National Archive and Public Records 
  Office (PRO), London. Through this study, it was found that the main issues 
  revolving around the Washington-Moscow conflicts during the Cold War era are 
  the clash of ideologies, the rivalry of military nuclear construction, economic 
  competition as well as crisis in Cuba and Afghanistan.
