The outcomes of the World Wars significantly reshaped international policy, leading to a reconfiguration of global power dynamics. The First World War resulted in the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed punitive measures on Germany and redrew national borders, setting the stage for political instability. The Second World War catalyzed the formation of the United Nations in 1945, aimed at promoting peace, security, and cooperation among nations. The wars also prompted the emergence of the United States and the Soviet Union as superpowers, leading to the Cold War and a new framework for international relations characterized by alliances, diplomacy, and conflict resolution.
