Abstract

Since the end of World War II until the conclusion of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, the world witnessed a complex and intertwined international conflict. This conflict manifested through various sources that shaped the dynamics of international rivalry.

One of the primary sources of international conflict during the Cold War era was the ideological struggle between the communist and capitalist systems. The Soviet Union and the United States competed to spread their political and economic models globally, leading to the formation of alliances, agreements, and interventions in the internal affairs of other countries.

After the Cold War, new sources of international conflict emerged. One such source was economic resources and natural wealth. Countries competed for access to vital resources such as oil, gas, and minerals, seeking to secure their economic strength and strategic energy needs.

Cultural and religious differences also became sources of conflict in this era. The cultural and religious disparities led to tensions and conflicts between different nations and communities. Some countries exploited these differences to pursue their political and economic interests.
