1. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union detonated the largest nuclear weapon the world had ever seen. The Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb on August 29, 1949, at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan. The event ended America's monopoly on atomic weaponry and launched the Cold War.
2. As World War II was ending, the Cold War began. This was to be a long lasting and continuing confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, lasting from 1945 to 1989. It was called the Cold War because neither the Soviet Union nor the United States officially declared war on each other.
3. Russian historians believe that Churchill and Truman are the ones responsible for starting the conflict aimed at destroying the US These differences caused the mounting tension between the Soviet Union and the west at the end of World War II.
4. The U.S. and the U.S.S.R. fought the Cold War for 45 years. It consisted of covert action, proxy wars and a nearly-complete polarization between the two sides among the rest of the world. In 1991, the U.S.S.R collapsed suddenly and completely, becoming a number of independent countries and the Russian Federation.

Answer:
Winston Churchill was cautious with the Soviet Union. He acknowledged the enormous help that the Soviet Union had provided in defeating the Nazis, without which it would have been impossible to do so, and also thought that after such a brutal war, in which more than 20 million soviet citizens died, the thing that the Soviet Union desired the least was a new one.
However, he felt that the Soviet Union wanted to use the fruits of the war for its geopolitical advantage, by taking control of the occupied territories in Eastern Union. This is why Churchill said that an Iron Curtain was falling over Europe, that would divide the continent in years to come, in a capitalist-oriented Western Europe, allied with the U.S., and a socialist-oriented Eastern Europe, under the control of the Soviet Union.
The British Government introduced conscription in March 1916 because voluntary enlistment could no longer meet the army’s need for recruits. Under the terms of the Military Service Act, all medically fit single men between the ages of 19 and 41 were deemed to have enlisted in the armed forces on 2 March.
In May 1916 a second Government act extended conscription to married men and the age limit was lowered to 18. Conscripted men had no choice about which service, regiment or unit they joined.
I'm pretty sure that the answer is D!! Hope this helps you!!!
