Two effects of World War II were the establishment of the United Nations and the beginning of the Cold War. The United Nations was created in 1945 as an intergovernmental organization to promote international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. It aimed to maintain peace, promote human rights, and address global issues. The Cold War, on the other hand, was a period of tension and hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to the division of the world into two ideological blocs and the arms race. It had far-reaching political, economic, and social consequences, shaping global affairs for several decades.
