After World War II, America's bout with the Soviet Union catapulted its rise as the world's dominant power. In response, the Soviet Union built its new international strategy around its rivalry with the United States. The US-Soviet relations were impacted by a number of factors that led to the Cold War. For nearly forty-five years, the Cold War split the world into two zones of authority. However, no weapons were used during that period. The international relations rivalry between the United States of America and the Soviet Union persisted for a considerable time. It led to monumental historical events such as the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Cuban missile crisis, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and the Vietnam War. One of the critical actions performed during the Cold War was the establishment of treaties such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by the Western allies and the Warsaw Pact by the Soviet Union. The war significantly transformed the global system, and the aftereffects are still tangible today.
