How come during the cold war the only superpowers were white countries?

During the cold war, the superpowers on earth were soviet union and united states, the thing is though, both these countries had a white-majority population. So how come only white people can create super-power nations how come other races cant achieve as much as white do?|||you already asked this question...


As I said before:





Well, it relies more upon the location, not the makeup of the population. These things include, natural resources, the ability to be accessed to trading, ability not to be invaded militarly easily (that is, having mountains, rivers, oceans, tundra, desert, etc. these things block the way to be invaded). Also some other important factors include population, having bloc/allies, having enemies gone(most were because of WW1), and a large standing military and having a large amount of people willing to volunteer for that military(many were willing to do so after the russian revolution)





The notion that white people can only build surperpower is wrong. Be ready for China.|||"god" is racist|||Wow really you had to ask this question here? sad.|||Ahem...Red China?|||your right, we need to fix things and bring change, we need affirmative action so in the next cold war we can have a black super power be a part of it, lets use kenya and supply them with all our money, weapons and then let them help the worlds starving and depressed. uhh huh and that will show the world that were not racist|||had nothing to do with race. had much to do with nukes and economic strength.|||For the past 1000 years, whites have been leading the technology. That is now changing with Asia emerging.|||So...





What are you going to say in 20 years, when the Chinese are the world's greatest superpower?





Won't that pretty much shoot down your white racist theory?|||How many European Countries are williing to take on Japan.......or China?|||Living in cooler, northern climates that didn't constantly have to fight disease and famine allowed them the leisure time to study science and, from it, develope the technology necessary for a huge war. It's more about geography than skin color (and, actually, skin color is also a result of geography and the need for more melanin due to greater or lesser exposure to the sun.)





Kinda undermines your racist idea -huh.|||What an incredibly stupid question. It is clear that you need to


go back to school...|||Perhaps the so called White nations are more war like - most come from harsh climates and had to fight and pillage to survive in the distant past . That is No excuse for all out war - how ever .
