\nThe Cold War has ended. What is the relevance of the UN in today\u2019s world?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere were deep rooted ideological, economic and political differences between the United States ans Soviet Union before the Second World War. These differences were intensified as a result of their mutual suspicions immediately after the Second World War. After 1953 , The Cold War was waning. There were two reasons which could explain the easing of the tension. The first reason was that since 1953, both the United States and Soviet Union possessed by hydrogen bombs. Both sides realized that the use of these destructive weapons in war would destroy each other. Thus they were determined to improve their relations in order to avoid direct military clash. The Second reason was that since 1954, the bonds between The \u2018Super Power\u2019 and their satellites began to slacken. As their satellites did not fully support their leaders, it made political sense for the two super power to improve their relations.<\/p>\n
