Ideological differences-Stalin vs Truman:
The past US president was Roosevelt. Roosevelt died in 1945 and he wanted to replace Harry S Truman as the new president of the US. Truman was a person that was completely anti-Communist and had a lot in mind. Therefore, the war came to an end and the relationship between America and Russia fell apart.

Summary:
Eventually, Harry S truman became the president of the US and he figured to resist Communism. These were his words that he reported to his advisers were: ''The Russians understand only 1 language- how many armies have you got? I'm tired of babying the soviets''. But this was not the only cause of trouble. Historians trusted that the wartime bond between the Soviet Union and America was also ruined by the vast differences between the two countries.
