Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union began almost exactly or even before World War Two ended. Now, events like The Soviet invasion of Manchuria, Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe, Iran Crisis of 1946, Greek Civil War, and so many events signaled Soviet aggression. Meanwhile, Churchill was very paranoid of Stalin and had been spying on the Soviets. Double agents were popping up everywhere, and fears boiled through Allied countries.
