The consequences of World War II were monumental, with the defeat of Axis powers leading to significant geopolitical shifts, including the emergence of the USA and USSR as superpowers. The war resulted in the death of 60 million individuals and left millions homeless or as refugees. Europe became divided with the rise of communism in the East and democracy in the West. Former colonies gained independence, and a desire for global cooperation led to the establishment of the United Nations and new international laws against war crimes.
The second world war significantly impacted geopolitics, resulting in the rise of superpowers, drastic territorial changes, and a shift towards global cooperation and legal frameworks.
With Europe divided between democratic and communist influence, and empires collapsing, the consequences of WWII shaped modern geopolitical structures and initiated the Cold War era.
