Answer 2

The Soviet Union, founded by Marxists, had their ideology of usurping power explained in their communist manifesto. (In general, it's about class-struggle and overthrowing traditions to establish a communist utopia).

Thus the spread of communism grew quickly down to China, Africa, Korea, Southern Asia, Middle East, Southern America, and Eastern Europe.

The Nazis weren't the only ones who've used concentration camps, the Soviets had their own gulags to torture political prisoners and religious people that won't follow the teachings of the communist party, so naturally, human rights were a problem, so many people living during that time had a huge fear of the spread of communism.

So traditionally (in the beginning), the U.S. and its allies wanted to stop the spread of communism, and they launched the Cold War, which isn't fighting against Soviet Russia directly, but helping armies fight against wherever communism is being spread.

U.S. and Soviet Union didn't declare war on each other, so no military battle.
U.S. also never conquered territory from the Soviet Union.
And Winston Churchill was an ally of the U.S. (and pretty old at this time), lol but D would be a good conspiracy theory.
