World War II dramatically affected the global political alignment of social structures. In its aftermath, the United Nations was formed to foster cooperation between international rivals and prevent future conflicts. The victors went on to control the security council as its permanent leaders. Europe experienced widespread devastation, and its global influence waned in the years following the war. The emergence of a rivalry between the superpower nations The Soviet Union and The United States would set the stage for the nearly half-century-long Cold War. Europe sought to politically integrate to stall any future hostility between nations, end pre-war hostilities, and attempt to forge a common sense of community and shared identity.
The conclusion of the war in Europe marked a turning point, and soon the South Pacific theater would also fall to the Allied forces.
