The Postwar Period and its Impact
The conclusion of World War II was more than just the end of a conflict; rather, it marked the start of a challenging and dynamic period that had an impact on many facets of US society. According to popular belief, this so-called “postwar” period helped form the modern world, but it was also shaped by the battle that came before it and the positive forces that surrounding it. The strength of the fundamentally opposed ideologies of Communism and Democracy clashed with the development of the nuclear bomb and other technological developments, creating a dangerous situation that fostered fear throughout the world and in the US in particular (Bjork & Gordon, 1999).

It is as of now when the US chosen to keep up atomic warheads in light of plans from the 1970s that were in the stockpile when the Cold War finished as opposed to exploit innovative advancements to field new warheads that could be intended to be more secure and more reliable and could give the United States enhanced alternatives for ensuring a trustworthy obstruction. Right now, the FAS appraises around 2,300 non-sent vital warheads, and about 500 conveyed and non-sent strategic warheads. According to January 2017, around 2,800 warheads were resigned anticipating disassembly (Benedict, 2012).
Global Integration and Political Coordination
The high level of global monetary mix and “political coordination” accomplished in the period in the vicinity of 1945 and 1970 is dissolving and “these disintegrative patterns are probably going to proceed for years to come. At present, The U.S. remains the biggest funder of the U.N. framework, all in all. However, its help is not spread equally over every one of the associations. A ton of this is about putting resources into load imparting to different parts of the world. The US likewise about hazard alleviation to keep away from much more terrible blazes of contention that would be considerably more excruciating for social orders in the U.S. and around the globe (Tausch, & Prager, 1993).
