Which was the source of the conflict between the united states and the soviet union during the cold war

The United States was a liberal democracy with a capitalist economic system while the Soviet Union was a communist country. Both were trying to export their vision around the globe.

So, during the Cold War, both were jockeying to be the MOST powerful country in the globe and did so by influencing countries around the globe.
