Best Answer

There were many more than two alliances formed after World War 2. The most important for Europe were probably the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) formed by the western democracies, and the Warsaw Pact, formed by the Soviet Union and its European allies.

In addition there were alliances such as

  • SEATO, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization
  • ANZUS, an alliance among the US, Australia, and New Zealand
  • the Rio Pact, Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance

How did world war 2 lead to expansion of the federal government?

New departments of the US Government were started as a result of World War 2. The Veterans Administration was put into place to carry out the benefits of the GI bill and to handle retirees of the military branches. VA hospitals were started too. An Air Force was started and reorganization of the military branches to accommodate women as service persons was instigated too. In 1941 ground was broken for the development of the US Pentagon to bring all the administrations of all branches of the military together. The SEA BEEs were formed during World War 2 and this expanded the military and government departments more. Another department formed was the Atomic Energy Commission. NASA became an administration which was the result of a dream of German Scientist/ Physicist Braun. He had been part of the team that designed and built the V2 Rockets during World War 2.

Is America a nation state?

You probably mean the League of Nations. It was formed after World War I (1914-18) to prevent wars from occurring. It is seen as the forerunner of today's United Nations. The League of Nations was based in Geneva, Switzerland, which had been neutral. A key component was the open discussion and negotiation between nations -- in sharp contrast to the secret alliances that existed before World War I.
