Aftermath.

The Aftermath of the WWII is sometimes considered like a new era. This period is defined by a mixture of international cooperation to rebuild Europe and Japan through the Marshall Plan.

In this period there was also a war, called “Cold War” between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The debt amassed by the United Kingdom and the reliance of western Europe on American loans and military support, made the maintenance of the Old Europe’s colonies.

The economic and political growing of the US in Western Europe and the Soviet union in Eastern Europe, shifted the international balance of power from the former imperial powers of western and central Europe to the US and Soviet Union.

The pos-war period was dominated by the Soviet Union, converting into Soviet Socialist Republics.

Yugoslavia emerged as an independent Communist state allied with the Soviet Union.

The allies established the Far Eastern Commission and Allied Council for Japan to administer their occupation of that country while the establishment Allied Control Council, administers occupied Germany.

The Soviet union occupied and subsequently annexed the strategic island of Sakhalin.
