The main economic cause of the cold war was America's desire and need for world wide open markets. It was believed that for capitalism to be successful, and the American and world wide economy to recover, open markets were necessary. This was contradictory to the communist belief in closed markets. This issue came to a head in Europe where America wanted open markets in all of Europe and Russia wanted closed markets in countries they wanted to control as a buffer to American capitalism.

Which was not one of the major causes of the Cold War?

One of the major causes of the Cold War was not the direct military conflicts between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, as these two superpowers primarily engaged in indirect confrontations rather than open warfare. Instead, the Cold War stemmed from ideological differences, economic competition, and geopolitical tensions following World War II. Key factors included the expansion of communism, the differing political systems, and the struggle for influence in post-war Europe and beyond.
