How did the world change after world war 2?
You don't believe in asking simple questions, I guess.
Before WW II, Britain, Japan, France and Germany were much more powerful in relation to all the rest of the countries of the world.
Germany was completely smashed by the war, as was Japan and was occupied by the Allies. Britain's colonial empire disintegrated after the war, as did France's. In some cases colonies removed themselves without fighting a war of independence, like India in the case of Britain and Tahiti in the case of France. Other countries fought tough wars for independence, like Algeria and Indonesia.
The USA and the Soviet Union emerged as the dominant world powers, so strong that they earned the name superpowers. China also emerged, after a very bitterly fought revolution, as one of the top powers. The USA knew that a conventional war with the Soviets would be virtually unwinnable, but thought differently about a nuclear war - hence the nuclear arms race. Nuclear war almost happened over the Cuban Missile Crisis. Fortunately, for a number of reasons the Soviet system collapsed and the world's supply of nuclear weapons is being deliberately lessened. Unfortunately countries with more money than sense, such as Iran, are threatening to become nuclear powers - a very grim and frightening prosect.

LOL is this for a history project? Do some research. It's not that hard.
Less people died per day.
Germany Which was the major world power was no longer and the u.s became the new world power
Ouch, do some research on the net and don't let others do your homework for you, that's just pathetic.
