    This is a pretty broad question. I would say ONE specific distinction was the formation of an international body in order to resolve future conflicts. The League of Nations was a direct effect of this conflict in order to end all future wars. Although with WWII it was defunct it did serve as a precedence for the current United Nations and showed the world the need and importance of forming such an international body to serve as a mediator to resolve future conflicts.

    America became a super power-- basically the most powerful country in the world after that war/because of that war. You could write a lot on that. It's very significant, it's changed the whole course of history.
