The answer is C: The war established the two nations as the world's superpowers, but their politics were in direct conflict.
After the end of World War II, two different blocs were created. One was the Western front, with the USA and its European allies as the main representatives (and the Western part of Germany and its capital), and the other was the Eastern Bloc, with the USSR and its satellite states as the main representatives (and the Eastern part of Germany and its capital). These two sides strongly disagreed with each other´s politics and economic practices; on the Western side, democracy and capitalism was advanced, principally by the USA, while on the Eastern bloc, socialism and a strong authoritarian state was the main objective to protect. These factors caused strong frictions between the USSR and the USA, which resulted in an escalating arms race that many times threatened to result in a full blown nuclear warfare.
