∙ 12y agowell it started with the us bombing of moscow which then lead to the soviets going into Washington DC and releasing thousands of wild bears throughout the city(hence the name the soviet bear.) After that Teddy Roosevelt was furious so he called in the ghostbusters to attack moscow and ride his horse into the capital and deliver a handwritten message to stalin. The message said "rechid vos" which in english means suck it. Hope this helped.

∙ 12y agoFirst of all the soviets were communists, and the US was capitalist. And many labor unions in America where communists, the Labor unions were protesting and making riots in the U.S.'s major cities. Second the U.S was allied with the Tsar of Russia, and the Soviets overthrew the Tsarist government. Third the Soviet Union was a super power and the United States was a super power, therefore there was a dispute. And finally the U.S. government thought that Communism was ill-minded and wanted to stop it from spreading. This interrupted with the Soviet Union's plan to spread communism in third world countries like China, Vietnam, Korea, Loas, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and even Mozambique. Anyways the spread of communism gave soviets allies which was for money, and the U.S wanted to get involved with the conflicts so they could sell their weapons for money.
