Roselyn Cummings · Answer 1

These are the options that apply:

Differing political systems as well as disagreements over the rebuilding of Europe and Berlin

Mistrust between the Soviet Union and the Western democracies

The inclusion of China in the Security Council of the United Nations

Explanation:

The Cold War primary motivation was an ideological battle between capitalism and socialism or communism. Capitalism was spearheaded by the United States and its allies, while socialism was spearheaded by the Soviet Union and its allies.

The Cold War began to erupt shortly after the end of World War II over disagreements about the rebuilding of Europe. The Soviet Union had effectively occupied most of Eastern Europe, and installed puppet governments there. The United States instead focused on Western Europe, giving European nations financial means for the rebuilt (the Marshall Plan).

There was also disagreement between the Soviet Union and the United States about the inclusion of China in the Security Council of the UN. The United States wanted China to be included because they believed that China would fight the Soviet Union, little they knew that Mao would be victorious in the Civil War, and turn the China into a Soviet ally.

Differing political systems as well as disagreements over rebuilding of Europe and Berlin The inclusion of China in the Security Council of the United Nations Mistrust between the soviet Union and the western democracies

Explanation:

The differing political systems been operated by the soviet union (communism) and the political system been practiced by the western democracies (Capitalism) was one of the major reasons behind the cold war. because America and the western allies wanted to stop the spread of communism in Europe and also rebuild Europe towards capitalism

The inclusion of China in the security council of the united Nations was one wrong step taken by the Western allies because they believed China could be used to achieve want they wanted in Eastern Europe but it failed because China embraced the Soviet union ways.

The mistrust between the soviet Union and western democracies led the soviet union to build satellite governments in Eastern Europe to prevent an invasion by the western democracies.

The cold war was primarily an ideological war
