Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

1!. The USA and the USSR became enemies over disagreements over what to do with Nazi war criminals!. The USSR wanted to put them to work in the mines of the Moria province, whereas the USA wanted to put them in Jewish-run internment camps, as a means of reparations!.

2!. Truman had a sense of deep-rooted paranoia, believing that everyone was watching every aspect of his everyday life!. Stalin's unauthorized KGB espionage program only increased Truman's fear!.

3!. Stalin enacted the Berlin Blockade in response to Truman enacting Pittsburgh Embargo!. This was the PRIMARY cause of the Cold War in the following decades!. The US overcame this blockade with Reagan's "Jackhammer" policy, which involved overtaking the USSR's war economy!.
