WW2 rearranged the world's power structure. Before the war, power was centered in Europe around England, France, Germany, and Russia. These were the superpowers. After the war, Europe was decimated with an entire generation gone. The Soviet Union and America emerged as competing world powers with Europe as the arena for their competition. Later it would spread worldwide.

Unfortunately, WWII unleashed a powerful new nation onto The World stage. One that was not ready itself for the challenge. It was a rural Country primarily on Dec. 7th 1941, but by the end of WWII it was "Good By to the simple Country life" and hello Nuclear America.
The Cold War then took the place of WWII and dominated the world until the peaceful collapse of The USSR. The Korea, Vietnam and Iraq Wars then basically put American up against its own Demons of greed and selfishness.
The Iraq War threatens a Nuclear War now, and it was the Nuclear Bomb of the WWII era that was not finished in time by the Germans and was dropped by the Americans on an already defeated Japan.
It is now time for a new Era, but will it happen before a dirty bomb goes off in the Middle East or before WW III starts around the Israel and Palestinian War?
Maybe it is more about the potential of WW3 than it is WW2 and the aftermath!
