The Super Powers |
The after effects of World War 2 were the two main Super Powers (Soviet Union and America) started to compete against each other to see who was the better and stronger power.
During the Cold War there was no actual fighting but the Soviet Union and America went through various events to become triumph compared to one another. For example there was the Space Race and the Arms Race, the first being to see who could make it into space successfully first and the Arms Race to see which of the powers could have the bigger and bolder weapon. Both events going on through out the Cold War.
To end the Cold War, the Soviet Union and America came to an agreement that they would both not start war on each other and would compromise so that no fighting would occur. This eventually leading up to modern day.
