The Cold War created strong alliances between countries, which makes today's international relationships more complicated.

• Polarization: Countries were separated by their different beliefs, making it hard for them to work together.
• Nuclear Stalemates: This led to security worries, and many countries started to distrust each other.

To tackle these problems, countries could:

1. Promote Dialogue: Encourage conversations to help close the gaps between different beliefs.
2. Strengthen Multilateral Organizations: Build better teamwork to solve conflicts together.

If these steps don’t happen, current conflicts could get worse, leading to even more instability.
