How did the emergence of 2 superpowers from ww2 lead to global conflict?

Because the two superpowers had opposing ideologies - the Soviet Union believed in Communism and the worldwide conversion to this belief, the US believe in democracy/capitalism and the freedom of nations and their peoples. As communism spread the US believed it was their fundamental responsibility to prevent this. It spread to a global conflict as other nations chose to support either the US or Soviet Union.


Why is the idea of two superpowers a relatively new one?

This question relates to the era of the Cold War. After WW2, only the USA and the Soviet Union had the power to be a threat to the world's peace. The USA's treaty with Japan, stripped Imperial Japan of all military power. Germany and Europe were in shambles after WW2. The US, being isolated by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, was basically still in tact after the war. The USSR, continued to "occupy" Eastern Europe and had the force to do so. Prior to all of this, the world did have a "spread" of powerful nations. The UK, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and the USSR dominated world military power and world politics. So yes, only after WW2, was the concept of 2 superpowers a reality, where in the past this was not the case.
