How did the outcome of World War 2 create change and conflict in the world?

Answer 1

The first and most obvious answer was the cold war. The world had settled into 2 armed camps, the west (democracies) vs. the east (communism). This polarization led to each of the super powers trying to line up allies and potential allies. The old maxim of an enemy of my enemy is my friend, led to many strange alliances in the west. This cold war led to conflicts in many regions of the 3rd world as the Soviets sponsored rebels in many areas to try and destabilize them. They also wanted to use these ongoing conflicts to drain the resources of the west. The Korean conflict as well as the Vietnam conflict were also direct results of this. The Vietnam conflict also saw massive upheaval here in the US and abroad. Of course the east was not without their own problems. First Hungary then Czechoslovakia tried to rebel against the Communists, but Nato did not want to get involved for fear of it escalating into a larger conflict that could easily have become WWIII.

Answer 2

The outcome of World War 2 led to the division of Germany into East and West, the creation of the United Nations, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the decolonization of many nations. These changes and conflicts reshaped the geopolitical landscape and led to tensions that persisted for decades.
