The most logical reason that the United States and the Soviet Union split after World War II, leading to the Cold War, is:
Both superpowers disagreed on the subject of democracy, how to rebuild Germany, and creating new markets for U.S. goods in Europe.
The ideological differences between the United States, which championed democracy and a capitalist economic system, and the Soviet Union, which promoted communism and a planned economy, contributed to the post-war division and tensions. Disagreements over the reconstruction of Germany and the influence each superpower sought in Europe further deepened the divide, ultimately leading to the Cold War.
