USA and Russia were viewed by many as 'super powers'. Their relationship was antagonistic.
Democracy (aka the Free World) and Communism combined to defeat Fascism in World War 2. It was only natural that these two ideologies should become adversaries after the war. The USA and USSR emerged as the two most powerful countries on the winning side, so they became the global superpowers for the next four decades. * The rivalry between the USA and USSR is long and complicated, and they became superpowers as a result, with Great Britain and France remaining as world powers for Democracy, and the People's Republic of China emerging as a world power for Communism. * In the postwar years, a country could not be a world power without a nuclear arsenal, which is why the five countries named above became the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Today, many other countries have nuclear weaponry, but they are not world powers, let alone superpowers.
They were the first countries to have nuclear bomb capabilities. Of the nuclear-armed countries, the US and USSR were the only two with enough warheads to destroy the world several times over, and conventional forces greatly in excess of those needed for national defense.
There were two countries which were considered to be the most powerful in the world in 1968. These countries included the Soviet Union and the United States.
Based on weapons stockpiles, there was mutually assured destruction if the two superpowers went to war
