World War II had a profound impact on the global geopolitical landscape, leading to the emergence of the United States and the Soviet Union as superpowers and setting the stage for the Cold War. The war resulted in the reorganization of international relations, with the establishment of the United Nations aimed at fostering cooperation and preventing future conflicts. Additionally, the decolonization movements that gained momentum post-war were partly influenced by the changing dynamics of power. Countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East sought independence, leading to significant shifts in global politics and the restructuring of global power hierarchies.
