Summary/Abstract: Post-war historiographical analyses demonstrate the similarities and differences between World War I and World War II, noting that the period 1939-1945 saw a "total war" that created a major fracture in human society, inevitably generating a new international order. One of the objectives of World War II was to change the international system, and it concluded by transforming the interwar system into a bipolar international system, with two global sub-systems led by two superpowers – the U.S. and the USSR – which monitored their interactions through the lens of military, and especially nuclear, balance of power.
