Answer:
(A) Communist governments were established in the areas in red, while the countries in the blue held free elections
Explanation:
During the Cold War period, there were two main fractions in Europe, as well as in the rest of the world. One fraction were the communists and the other were the democracies. Most of Central Europe, all of Eastern Europe, and most of the Balkans were dominated by communist governments, while Western Europe, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and Scandinavia were dominated by democracies. Both sides wanted to dominate and to spread further their own system of government, and that of course led to lot of tensions between the two fractions. Yugoslavia is probably the most interesting case in Europe in this time, as it was a communist country but it was not under the control of the Soviet Union. It had relatively good relations with both the democratic and the communist countries, balancing between the two.
