Answer:

Explanation:

The Cold War has had many effects on society, from the end of the war up until today. Primarily, communism was defeated. In Russia, military spending was cut dramatically and quickly. The effects of this were very large, seeing as the military-industrial sector had previously employed one of every five Soviet adults[1] and its dismantling left hundreds of millions throughout the former Soviet Union unemployed.[1]

After Russia embarked on economic reforms in the 1990's, it suffered a financial crisis and a recession more severe than the United States and Germany had experienced during the Great Depression.[2] Russian living standards have worsened overall in the post–Cold War years,[3] although the economy has resumed growth since 1995.[2] It wasn't until 2005 that the average post-communist country had returned to 1989 levels of per-Capita GDP,[4] although some are still lagging far behind.[5] The legacy of the Cold War continues to influence world affairs.[6][7] After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the post–Cold War world is widely considered as unipolar, with the United States the sole remaining superpower.[8][9][10] The Cold War defined the political role of the United States in the post–World War II world: by 1989 the United States held military alliances with 50 countries, and had 1.5 million troops posted abroad in 117 countries.[11] The Cold War also institutionalized a global commitment to huge, permanent peacetime military-industrial complexes and large-scale military funding of science.[11]

Military expenditures by the US during the Cold War years were estimated to have been $8 trillion, while nearly 100,000 Americans lost their lives in the Korean War and Vietnam War.[12] Although the loss of life among Soviet soldiers is difficult to estimate, as a share of their gross national product the financial cost for the Soviet Union was far higher than that of the United States.[13]

Explanation:

  • During the Second World War, the destruction came not only to the countries that were directly involved in the war but also for the colonial countries which were forced into the war by the mother countries.
  • During the Cold War, the responsibility to rebuild the young independent nations came in direct conflict with the association to the two power blocks (which were potential threat of third world war).
