Usage notes
With reference to the World Wars, post-war (after the end of World War II in 1945) is contrasted with (between the end of World War I in 1918 and the outbreak of World War II in 1939) and  (before the outbreak of World War I in 1914; or, depending on context, before the outbreak of World War II).

In context, post-war generally refers to the period of time since the end of World War II, and often coincides with the ambiguous term. In other countries it may refer to other major wars.
