The end of the Second World War has greatly changed the balance of power in the world, completely broken the world political pattern centered on Europe formed for centuries, and promoted the gradual transition of world history from the era dominated by European powers to the era of bipolar pattern.
After the war, based on the Yalta system, a world political pattern headed by the two great powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, was formed, from the confrontation between the two camps to the bipolar confrontation. This situation did not change until the early 1990s.
1947, US President Truman announced that he would provide 400 million US dollars in aid to Greece and Turkey and send US military personnel. It marks that the United States and other western countries implemented the "cold war" policy after the war, and the cold war between the East and the West, especially the United States and the Soviet Union, began.
From 65438 to 0949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was established by western countries and other countries headed by the United States. 1955, the Soviet Union and the socialist countries in Eastern Europe established the Warsaw Pact. The establishment of these two organizations has thus formed a long-term confrontation between the two camps of imperialism and socialism headed by the United States and the Soviet Union.
