The Thaw.
Disagreements between the US and the USSR during World War II primarily stemmed from ideological differences and conflicting post-war visions. The US favored democratic governance and capitalism, while the USSR promoted communism and a state-controlled economy. Tensions also arose over the timing and nature of military operations, particularly the delay in opening a second front in Europe, which the Soviets felt was necessary to relieve pressure on their forces. These underlying issues set the stage for the Cold War tensions that followed the war.

Khrushchev's secret speech in 1956, which denounced Stalin's cult of personality and his repressive policies, initially seemed to signal a potential easing of Cold War tensions by promoting a more open dialogue and reform within the Soviet Union. However, it also heightened divisions within the communist bloc and alarmed Western powers, as it revealed the vulnerabilities and internal conflicts of the USSR. Ultimately, while it suggested a shift in Soviet policy, the speech did not lead to a significant reduction in Cold War hostilities.
