Question

What made the united states and the soviet union emerged from the war as super powers?

Answer 1

The United States had the atomic bomb. The Soviet Union had the world's most powerful army.

Answer 2

Most of the other Countries in world war 2 ended up having terrible post-war economies. While the US and Soviet Union's economies did crash, they didn't as bad as some other countries like France and the UK's did. Another reason the Soviet Rose was because under Joseph Stalin the economy was centralized because of Communism ;D. Then the biggest reason is that they both had developed very powerful Nuclear weapons.
