Best Answer

The US and Soviet Union distrust each other because of their different governments. The US and Western Europe were democratic and favored free trade while the Soviet Union and many other East European countries were communist. The US and Soviet Union emerged as super powers after WWII with atomic weapons that could take out entire cities with one bomb. Both sides feared that the other would use these atomic weapons and that the other government style would spread unto their own, taking over theirs.
