What two countries emerged as superpowers after World War II?

The two countries that became global superpowers and created a bi-polar world order for almost the next five decades were the Soviet Union and the United States. Following the end of WWII and the rise of the Soviet Union and the United States a new kind of war or conflict developed between the Soviet Union and the United States for influence and power globally. This war was called the Cold War and dominated much of international politics for the latter part of the 20th century.

The two countries that emerged as superpowers after World War II were the United States and the Soviet Union. Their rivalry led to the Cold War, which shaped global politics for several decades. This bi-polar world order lasted primarily from the late 1940s until the early 1990s.
