A major result of World War II in terms of international relations was the formation of a bipolar world order dominated by the United States and the Soviet Union. The war prompted the establishment of the United Nations to foster global cooperation and prevent future conflicts. Furthermore, the geopolitical landscape shifted, leading to the Cold War, characterized by ideological, political, and military tensions between the two superpowers. This division influenced global alliances, decolonization movements, and conflicts in various regions, fundamentally reshaping international relations and governance in the post-war era.
