Answer:
United States:
Pursued stronger democracy
Had a democratic government
Fought the spread of communism
Soviet Union:
Encouraged Communist revolutions
Wanted buffer states to protect it
Was ruled by a dictator
Explanation:
The United States, after the second world war, tried their best to stop the spread of communism in Europe. Several policies implemented and their main goal was to limit the spread of communism in Europe. These policies were the policy of containment, the Marshall Plan, and the Truman Doctrine. The United States perused democracy in the country where people have the right to chose their government.
The Soviet Union followed communism after the Russian revolution. The Soviet Union, during World War II, captured many territories and began exercising military and political power. The Soviet Union ruled by Joseph Stalin. He became a dictator of the Communist Party after the death of Vladimir Lenin. The Eastern European countries, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany, Hungary, Ukraine, and Czechoslovakia, became the satellite states.
They weren't so successful at conquering Europe or China. Of course, one can blame the long supply lines, but in these cases their adversaries were also determined to repulse them.
In contrast, Byzantium and Persia were exhausted from mutual warfare. Tribes related by kinship to Muslim Arabs had served as mercenaries during this period, so there was a lot of tactical knowledge available.
The Byzantines retreated to the highlands of Anatolia upon losing their lower-lying provinces to the Muslims. I am not sure if they launched a determined counter-attack. The Persians did, but they could not fight coherently.

How does paragraph 8 contribute to the development of ideas in the text?
Answer:
It describes how presidents can use the State of the Union to publicize their goals.
This is the correct answer because that paragraph talks about the way the United States President used the State of the Union Address to inform Congress and the American people about the situation of the country in politics, economy, security, and more.
But nowadays, the situation has changed and the US President uses public relations programs to appear before the media and tries to influence public opinion through mass media.
