Factors Leading To The End Of The Cold War After World War II the multipolar world disintegrated into two World Powers. The vying for power and territory, consolidation of states, and intimidation of others was common practise from the 1890s up until about the end of the Second World War. If the history of the world was doomed to repeat itself and the academics who theorize about the interactions of state and the politics that correlate with the balance of power between them could predict the outcome toward the end of the Twentieth Century a majority would have predicted World War III. The mere fact that the Soviet Union, a land based power steeped in tradition secrecy and a long history of strong authoritarian rule, and the United States, a naval based power, with a tendency toward isolationism and a young democratic leadership, were the two great powers to emerge after World War II, purports a less than symbiotic relationship. The Cold War is broken up into climaxes and tension deflators.
