Explanation:

Question 46

The Cold War was a period of tension between democratic (led by US) and communist (led by USSR) countries globally. It lasted from 1945 - 1991 with conflicts due to un willingness to cooperate, and was also a political, social, economic competition between US and USSR. So all options a, b, c describe it, so d is correct.

The War Guilt Clause was part of the Treaty of Versailles (WWI), not a cause of the Cold War. Threat of nuclear war, clash of world views, and unwillingness to compromise were Cold War causes. So a is not a cause.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a direct result of the fear of nuclear war, as it involved the US and USSR facing off over nuclear - armed missiles in Cuba. The launch of Sputnik was about space race, Warsaw Pact was a military alliance, Berlin Wall was about dividing Berlin, not directly due to nuclear war fear.

Answer:

d. All of the above
