Question

which of the following describes a similarity between eastern and western europe following world war ii?

a. each region fiercely resisted the creation of the truman doctrine.

b. each region promoted the spread of international communism.

c. each region fell under the influence of a foreign superpower.

d. each region established its own \iron curtain\ to protect its interests.

Explanation:

After World War II, Eastern Europe came under the influence of the Soviet Union (a superpower), and Western Europe was significantly influenced by the United States (another superpower). The Truman Doctrine was mainly resisted by the Soviet - influenced Eastern bloc (not both regions, so A is wrong). Western Europe did not promote international communism (B is wrong). The “iron curtain” was a metaphor for the division between Eastern and Western Europe, not something each region established (D is wrong).

Answer:

C. Each region fell under the influence of a foreign superpower.
