The correct answer is C.

The Iron Curtain was the term used to refer to the border located in the middle of the European continent that divided Europe and the whole world into two areas, since the end of WWII in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991.

The territories located on the east of the Iron Curtain were the Soviet Union and its satellite states, or states under its influence. On the other hand, the states located on the west side of the border were democratic and capitalist countries, the US and its allies, and also neutral countries.

This term became popular during the Cold War era because Winston Churchill used it during a speech to refer to the division of the world in two sides.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em>Hello! ^^ Jaesuk~Sakai Here!</em>

Explanation:

<em>The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States. Many Americans on the West Coast attributed declining wages and economic ills to Chinese workers. Although the Chinese composed only .002 percent of the nation's population, Congress passed the exclusion act to placate worker demands and assuage prevalent concerns about maintaining white "racial purity."</em>

storchak [24]
The correct answer is B)answer questions about U.S. history and government. To become a naturalized citizen of the United States and to obtain an American passport, there are a set of rules and regulations to follow. One of them is learning history and government questions about the United States. This is usually given to applicants through a CD to which they can listen to, learn and practice in the weeks coming before the test. Most prospective citizens who speak English, but also who do not are equally given a language test to see how good their proficiency in English is. This is a relatively long process, but once people pass they receive an American passport, as well as a green card.
