After 1954, the geopolitical landscape was dominated by two superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union. This resulted from the aftermath of World War II, where both nations emerged with significant military strength and economic influence, while European powers were weakened. The ideological divide of capitalism versus communism further solidified their roles, leading to the Cold War. Other nations, while influential, lacked the same level of global reach and military capability, solidifying the U.S. and USSR as the primary superpowers.

Most of the same superpowers were still in place after WW2 but I think what you're referring to is the Soviet Union and the U.S. The war had left all of Europe in ruins, except the impenetrable USSR. England and France lost a lot of their standing because of how much damage the had to undo. America and the Soviet Union emerged as two very very powerful nations, both with nuclear power and what made this so scary was the fact that by the end of the war, they were enemies.
