War and Military History

World War II created a world where there were two super powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, so fundamentally different that they were naturally at odds. To add to the conflict, many European countries were left greatly weakened by the war, providing the Soviet Union a chance to spread communism, something the United States wanted to avoid.

It may have been considered possible once, as the close of World War 2 did lead to the Cold War, which very nearlly turned into a Nuclear war.

However it can be said that any Nuclear war could have it's roots in World war 2 as the Nuclear weapon has it's roots in World war 2.

Also if a Asian Communist nation was to start World war 3then that could be traced back to the Cold war and that in itself could be traced back to World war 2.

It's all just a matter of perspective, for example; many causes of World war 2 have their roots in World war 1 so any war that could be traced back to the Cold war could then be blamed on events of World war 2 and in turn could be linked to the outcome of World war 1.
