What are the three blocs of nations formed after the war?
The three blocs refer to First World, Second World and Third World terms. They arose out of the United Nations. Mostly it is a sociological term. Or a political term. The term Fourth World has been developed since WWII. The explanation below comes from an organization called Nations Online developed to improve global awareness. It is the best explanation I have ever seen on this subject. Thankfully the Second World has shrunk due to the end to many communist countries becoming independent countries.
Four Worlds
After World War II the world split into two large geopolitical blocs and spheres of influence with contrary views on government and the politically correct society:
1 - The bloc of democratic-industrial countries within the American influence sphere, the "First World".
2 - The Eastern bloc of the communist-socialist states, the "Second World".
3 - The remaining three-quarters of the world's population, states not aligned with either bloc were regarded as the "Third World."
4 - The term "Fourth World", coined in the early 1970s by Shuswap Chief George Manuel, refers to widely unknown nations (cultural entities) of indigenous peoples, "First Nations" living within or across national state boundaries.
__ Definitions
The term "First World" refers to so called developed, capitalist, industrial countries, roughly, a bloc of countries aligned with the United States after World War II, with more or less common political and economic interests: North America, Western Europe, Japan and Australia.
Countries of the "First World"
"Second World" refers to the former communist-socialist, industrial states, (formerly the Eastern bloc, the territory and sphere of influence of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic) today: Russia, Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland) and some of the Turk States (e.g., Kazakhstan) as well as China.
Countries of the "Second World"
"Third World" are all the other countries, today often used to roughly describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The term Third World includes as well capitalist (e.g., Venezuela) and communist (e.g., North Korea) countries, as very rich (e.g., Saudi Arabia) and very poor (e.g., Mali) countries.

Why did the cold war end peacefully?
The Russians didn't manage their resources and when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 that was the end for the Cold War.
The cold war didn't have a specific start or ending time but if i had to give one I'd say that it started right after WWII (1945) and ended in the early 90's, probably 1991, the fall of the Soviet Union.

Why did more people die in the war on terror than the cold war?
If you do not count the Viet Nam War and the Korean War then that statement saying there were more deaths in the war on terrorism than in the Cold War would be true. However, it is not true. If you consider the Cold War fought as an arms race and conflict of CIA vs. KGB that statement would hold true since there were less deaths. Since the Viet Nam War and the Korean War and the War in Afghanistan (with Russia) were all part of the Cold War then it is not true. So more people died in the Cold War than in the War on Terrorism.
Following the end of World War what happened to most of the countries of Eastern Europe?
(A+)
They were under the control of the Soviet Union.
What role did Russia and US play in the cold war?
They killed many families and took their children. The women were rapped and the men were shot( manly in the head) They took cold showers to wash away the fear and to make them seem stronger.
The superpowers each thought that the other was going to attack them. As one of them increased their stock of nuclear weapons, the other did so as well. In case of war, each side wanted to have more nukes than the other to assure their enemy's destruction. At the same time fear increased and as each country got more nukes tensions were higher. It was also a battle between Captialism and Communism ideology.

Russia
