Step-by-step explanation

World War II was a warlike confrontation that took place in Western Europe and part of the Pacific Ocean during the first half of the twentieth century. In this conflict, two sides participated, one led by the United States, England, the Soviet Union and France (The allies); and one led by Germany, Italy and, Japan (The axis).

After the victory of the allies, a non-bellicose dispute began between the United States and the Soviet Union, which was known as the Cold War and ended in 1991 with the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The main motivation of this dispute was the desire for both the United States and the Soviet Union to impose their social and economic-political systems worldwide. Moreover, this ideological conflict prompted a technological race between these countries, an example of this is the space race that took place during this war. So, the correct answer is D. The soviet Union
