Explanation:

World War II altered political relations and the social structure of the world. The United Nations (UN) was created after the conflagration to promote international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. The Soviet Union and the United States rose as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the Cold War, which lasted for the next 46 years. At the same time, the influence of the great European powers declined, materialized at the beginning of the decolonization of Asia and Africa. Most countries whose industries had been damaged initiated economic recovery, while political integration, especially in Europe, emerged as an effort to establish post-war relations.
