Abstract

After the end of World War II, the European imperialist powers conceded their leading function in constructing the world’s policy to the Soviet Union and the United States. For the next 45 years, the world was shaped by their struggle. The following essay tries to find an answer to the question whether both superpowers built up empires in that time.
