Why was the Soviet Union suspicious of the US following WWII?

At the begining of WWII the Soviet always wanted to get on the other side of the war (siding with Germany, Italy, and Japan) but they were kind of rejected so by many mishaps they fought on our side. By the end of WWII the major country's that fought in the war were pretty exhausted militarily and economically, only the US and Soviet stayed somewhat strong. Both sides (US and Soviety) were already weary of each other, that's one of the reason's why we bombed Japan, to give them the heads up on our neuclear power if they had any ideas. Then after WWII the Soviet goes on to take many of the nearby country's, and since every was exhausted no one really did a thing about it at the time, which many of European countries at the time called the the betrayel of the US, meaning we just stood there and did nothing. US and Soviet then went into a silent war call "Cold War" and many proxy wars instead of an all out war.
