question 13 of 43
during the cold war, the non-aligned movement was most attractive to
countries that:
a. worried about the prospect of communist revolutions spreading
across the globe.
b. believed both the united states and the soviet union manipulated
and exploited their allies.
c. had access to nuclear weapons but extremely weak conventional
military forces.
d. relied on aid from more powerful states to prevent their
economies from collapsing.

Explanation:

The Non - Aligned Movement (NAM) was formed during the Cold War. Its main idea was to stay away from the two super - power blocs (the US and the Soviet Union). Countries in the NAM believed that the super - powers manipulated and exploited their allies. For example, the US and the Soviet Union often used their allies for geopolitical purposes, which could be detrimental to the ally countries' own interests.

• Option A: The fear of communist revolutions was more of a concern for Western - aligned countries (associated with the US bloc), not for the Non - Aligned Movement.
• Option C: Most countries in the Non - Aligned Movement did not have nuclear weapons. The movement was more about political non - alignment rather than military capabilities in terms of nuclear weapons.
• Option D: Countries in the Non - Aligned Movement tried to be self - reliant or have a more independent approach to development rather than relying on aid from super - powers (as they saw the super - powers as exploitative).

Answer:

B. believed both the United States and the Soviet Union manipulated and exploited their allies.
