How did the world change after World War 2 ended in 1945?

i've got a few points myself: the %26quot;Cold War%26quot; began between the USA and Russia, and a race began to make the best atomic bomb, and local citizens and people lived in fear of further nuclear attacks. is there anything else i've missed?



thanks :)

how about it was the end of the great British Empire as well, expanded the ideals of capitalism and therefor brought about the new age of waste, before then everyone used or repaired items.

If you are going into the 50s look at
