The establishment of NATO-Warsaw Pact military and political groups has had an impact on the international situation after World War II: the confrontation between NATO and Warsaw Pact military and political groups in Europe marks the final formation of the bipolar pattern, which has both positive and negative aspects.

Positive: It has avoided the possibility of a new world war in a short time and provided experience for the existence of two countries with different social systems: the Soviet Union and the United States. Colleagues and these two countries also learn from each other to make up for their own shortcomings.

Negative: The Cold War is actually a confrontation between military forces, which threatens the security and peace of the world and also makes other countries encounter difficulties, such as the division of Germany and North Korea.
