Stalin Despised Capitalism. China became USSR's ally after WWll. USSR feared atomic bomb. USSR made their own atomic bomb. USSR and U.S. didn't communicate and had suspicion of each other. Stalin lied about a lot of things after WWll. Like free elections in Europe, and helping the U.S. in the war with Japan.
