Nuclear weapons made them super powers. Pure and simple.
After World War II was over, the Allied troops occupied Germany and divided it into four sections, each one controlled by one of the four powers. The four Allied powers were the USA, the USSR, Britain, and France.
This was also because of the possibility of USA and USSR fighting each other, and especially during the times when the tensions between those super powers were already high and both had military strength and atomic bombs. And during the times Britain, France, and USA were figuring out who should control the Suez Canal. And because USA didnt want to help an already communist country
During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were initially part of the Allied Powers, fighting against the Axis Powers, which included Germany, Italy, and Japan. Despite their collaboration to defeat a common enemy, the two nations had fundamentally different ideologies—capitalism and democracy in the U.S. versus communism in the USSR. After the war, tensions grew between them, leading to the Cold War, as they vied for global influence and power. Their wartime partnership was marked by cooperation in military strategy, but underlying distrust foreshadowed future conflicts.

USSR Super Cup was created in 1977.
At 1940, Britain and France were the super powers but in a declining state. USA and USSR were other wealthiest countries. But above all it is the Germans who dominated the world due to their skills in military technology, mining and monetory policy. Regards, Naveen Prasad A.
US: 1945. USSR: 1949
Cold war was a war of threats, politics between democratic west and communist east. It was caused by the end of WWII with the emergence of two super powers America and the USSR, and their opposing ideologies. It was called a cold war because there were no occasions of direct armed conflict between the super powers.
