This war showed how much the US struggled in stopping communism. It also showed how the communist and democracy nations can't come to an agreement on the same terms. This also increased more tension. This affects the world today because if all those Americans didn't die then there would have been a larger economy than there is today. There were also devastating psychological conditions that we found because of the loss of loved ones. This is good because we are treating patients with knowledge today so we are more educated.
