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.

Why did the cold war never turn in to world war three?
M.A.D- mutually assured destruction. Since both Superpowers (USSR and USA) had a nuclear weapon, they knew that if one will attack the other, both atomic bombs would have been fired and they would have destroyed the world. Therefore, they fought in Arm race, Space race and Proxy wars (wars fought by smaller countries on the behalf of the superpowers). Also, in the Cold war there were no actual fighting between the USSR and the USA. Hope it helped :)

Why America called the new world?
They thought the world was a flat disc, and they thought the world had an edge you sailed off of. So when they discoverd america it seamed like a new world because the thought nothing was there before, just water. So it seamed like a different world. Also the natives americans spoke a different language and looked different so they were somewhat like aliens I guess, but i seriously don't think so.
