The fundamental reason for the emergence of a bipolar pattern after the end of World War II

The disintegration of the bipolar pattern is the result of a combination of factors. The arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union weakened the United States and dragged down the Soviet Union, which was the direct cause of the collapse of the bipolar pattern. After World War II, the imbalance in the development of the world economy led to multipolarization of the economy, which was the fundamental reason for the collapse of the bipolar pattern.

The development of the national liberation movement after World War II and the rise of the Third World, represented by China, also seriously impacted the bipolar pattern and was an important factor in the disintegration of the bipolar pattern.

World War I was a socialist country, World War II was a socialist camp, World War I, after the victory of the Allies, the Soviet Union was excluded from the world, and in World War II, the Soviet Union's existence was already impossible to ignore, and militarily it became the main force in World War II, especially after the defense war and the opening of the second theater in Europe.

So at that time, Roosevelt knew that it was no longer possible to exclude the Soviet Union from the world like World War I, and now there were a large number of socialist countries in Asia and Eastern Europe that relied on Eastern Europe for liberation, and considering that Churchill wanted to revive the empire on which the sun never set, and wanted to establish an alliance in Europe led by Britain to break away from the United States, so Roosevelt put forward the concept of the United Nations in a comprehensive consideration of his own interests.

But the direct confrontation between the socialist camp and the capitalist camp mentioned upstairs cannot be changed.

The socialist camp of the Soviet Union, and the capitalist camp represented by the United States.

After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union rose rapidly, and the world formed a bipolar pattern, so do you know the reasons for the formation of the bipolar pattern? I have sorted out the reasons for the formation of the bipolar pattern after World War II, and I hope you will gain something from the reading process!

The formation of the Cold War in 1947 exacerbated the formation of a bipolar pattern.

Conditions and reasons: the confrontation of power between the United States and the Soviet Union, World War II changed the balance of power in the world, the countries of Western Europe generally declined, and the United States and the Soviet Union rose rapidly.

United States: Economically, before World War II, the United States was already the world's largest economic power, and its economic power was extremely inflated during the war. Military power is an absolute dominant position in the world, with a large number of troops, advanced equipment, nuclear **, and garrisons in many parts of the world.

With strong economic and military strength as the backing, it played an active role in the anti-fascist war, so it established the capitalist world economic hegemony after the war, and had a tremendous impact on international politics.

Soviet Union: After the war, the Soviet Union rose rapidly to become a world power second only to the United States. Despite the losses suffered by the USSR in the war, it made a great contribution to the fight against fascism and gained international prestige.

Economically: After the end of the war, the Soviet Union took a series of measures to shift the focus of its work from war to peacebuilding, and the national economy quickly recovered from the wounds of the war. Militarily:

Since the end of World War II, the Soviet Union has always maintained its military strength, and after the war, the Soviet Union became one of the founding members of the United Nations and one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, and its influence in international affairs has played a decisive role. the strategic confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States; At the end of World War II, they lost the basis for cooperation, and ideological contradictions re-dominated their relations.

The bipolar pattern is centered on the United States and the Soviet Union, with the two major military blocs of NATO and the Warsaw Pact forming in Europe, and a pattern of all-out confrontation between the capitalist camp and the socialist camp in the world.

The bipolar pattern existed in the early 50s of the 20th century, ending with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991. This is manifested in the military confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact led by the United States and the Soviet Union, the struggle for the Third World, the mutual economic embargo and blockade, the frenzied competition in armaments, the vain attempt to gain superiority over the opponent, and the ideological mutual attack. Generally speaking, it is the situation in which the two major blocs, the United States and the Soviet Union, occupy an absolutely dominant position in the world power structure and are hostile to and confronted each other, but cannot defeat their opponents.

Politically, the two different social systems are incompatible.

Militarily, the two blocs are in strong confrontation (all-out Cold War and local aggression and anti-aggression struggle).

The two types of economies develop in parallel and have little interaction (blockade and anti-blockade).

The two camps are basically a monistic structure and a center.

The bipolar pattern has been relatively stable for a long time.

After the Second World War, Germany and Japan became defeated countries and their international status seriously declined! The old capitalist countries of Britain and France are seriously weakened! The center of the world shifted to the Americas, and the United States and the Soviet Union became superpowers with world dominance!

The United States became a political and economic power among capitalist countries, and the Soviet Union became a political and military power in the socialist camp!

Socialist countries have broken through the scope of one country, and a socialist camp has emerged! Asia, Africa, Xiangran, and Latin America have also set off a wave of independence!

Various international organizations have emerged one after another, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Arab League, and so on! The main contradiction in the post-war world arose between the two camps, led by the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States took all hostile measures against Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union except for war, which is called the origin of the Cold War, and the United States interfered in the Turkish Revolution and the Greek Revolution!

Hot wars against the socialist countries of Asia - the Korean War, the Vietnam War.

The establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Warsaw Pact (Warsaw Pact) marked the emergence of two opposing politico-military organizations. The Cold War lasted until the collapse of the Soviet Union!

The establishment of the European Community in Europe has seen rapid economic development, the enhancement of comprehensive national strength, Japan's emphasis on science and technology, and its economy has developed rapidly, sustained and stable, becoming the second largest economy after the United States, the world has begun to develop towards multipolarity, and the bipolar pattern has been shocked, and Gorbachev has come to power to implement inappropriate reforms, which has accelerated the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the bipolar pattern has been severely challenged.

In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed, the two-level pattern ended, and a relatively stable world pattern has not yet been formed.

The United States and the Soviet Union were both strong, and the contradictions between capitalism and socialism deepened. Later, Churchill delivered the "Iron Curtain" speech, which opened the prelude to the "Cold War".

Because these two countries contributed the most to the victory in World War II, they had a certain amount of influence politically. In addition, in terms of land area, natural resources, population, and scientific and technological level, these two countries were the strongest at that time. Because even countries believe in different social systems, a bipolar pattern is formed.

At that time, several powers were France, Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, and Germany. Other countries are not at all their opponents. France, Japan and Germany were both completely defeated in the Great War, and Britain was severely weakened.

The Soviets and the United States took control of the world. Due to the diametrical opposition of ideologies, both countries want to eliminate the other completely. But nuclear ** will destroy the whole world, so neither country will dare to directly confront militarily until the collapse of the USSR.

Are the two countries the strongest?

To put it simply, who has the final say, and who has the final say.

In terms of history, especially the Cold War, 19th century history, mathematics, astronomy, you can ask me, I hope it will be helpful to you.

I have set up a historical knowledge group with history as a mirror, and I hope you can support our group more in the future, and you can consult if you have any questions about history.

Inquire (although our group is newly built, there are many masters).

After World War II, the two political systems of the United States and the Soviet Union were different, resulting in the formation of a bipolar pattern, and they were also the most powerful countries in the comprehensive country at that time, but the two systems were different. This led to political wars between countries, known as the Cold War. The reason is that the systems between countries are different, and both countries wanted to be the first at that time, to dominate the world.

One pole is capitalism, which has developed from feudal society, and the other pole is masked feudalism. The ownership of the assets is reversed, and of course there will be completely different camps.
