Реферат: The Rise Of The Super Power Essay

In conclusion, both the U.S. and the Soviet Union possessed strong ideologies.

The ways in which they attempted to diffuse their ideas throughout the world after the

war classifies them into the category of being superpowers. It is the global dimension of

their political, military, and economic presence that makes the United States and the

Soviet Union superpowers. It was also the rapid expansion of the national and

international structures of the Soviet Union and the United States during the war that

allowed them to assume their roles as superpowers.
