The main reason the Cold war did not end in World War III, was because of something called MAD, or mutally assured destruction, which basically means that if any one country were to launch nuclear weapons at another, the other country would retaliate and launch more of there own, and both countries would be destroyed.
Yes, the Cold War was after World War 2
Do you mean, "Why was the era AFTER world war 2 called the cold war?" Because no one calls the era of WW2 the cold war.
people were scare because both the USSR & the USA created nuclear weapons. the world feared that the mass production of the nukes would result in a nuclear war between the USA & USSR
The result of World War II most famously brought upon the Cold War between Russia and the United States with completely different ideologies (socialism/communism vs. democracy). The result indicated the two great powers who participated in the race of arms and space. Other results included imperialism in Asia and Europe, the creation of the United Nations, and the slow economy around the world.

World War I, World War II, and the Cold War
I'm gonna be honest with you, there has not been a World War III and hopefully there never will
The Cold War resulted from lack of trust between the U.S and The Soviet Union.
The cold war was a period of tension between the two major world nations (U.S. and the Soviet Union) each wanting to dominate the world scene and each having enough nuclear weapons to utterly destroy the other. Since a war between them would result in mutually assured destruction they would not engage in actual combat, a "hot war," thus this Mexican standoff or "cold war" was the result. The cold war is defined to have begun in 1947. The term 'cold war' was coined by futuristic writer George Orwell.
