Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.
The United States government was initially hostile to the Soviet leaders for taking Russia out of World War I and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. Although the United States embarked on a famine relief program in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s and American businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the New Economic Policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. By that time, the totalitarian nature of Joseph Stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the West. Although World War II brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward Eastern Europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
The Soviet Union and the United States stayed far apart during the next three decades of superpower conflict and the nuclear and missile arms race. Beginning in the early 1970s, the Soviet regime proclaimed a policy of détente and sought increased economic cooperation and disarmament negotiations with the West. However, the Soviet stance on human rights and its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 created new tensions between the two countries. These tensions continued to exist until the dramatic democratic changes of 1989–91 led to the collapse during this past year of the Communist system and opened the way for an unprecedented new friendship between the United States and Russia, as well as the other new nations of the former Soviet Union.

The correct answer is the D-day.
The Secret Annex was the space, at the back of a Dutch canal house in Amsterdam, where Anne Frank and her family hid for years during the Nazi occupation, together with another Jewish family.
Hope was brought by the information which arrived there about the D-day, when the Normandy landings took place, which meant the arrival of the Allied forces to the occupied French territory. It happened on June, 1944. It was a crucial military operation in the defeat of the Nazis in mainland Europe.
Anne and the rest of the people hidden were arrested by the Nazis in August 1944 and sent to concentration camps where all died, except Anne's father, Otto Frank. <em>Therefore the answer option which mentions the end of the Nazi occupation in Amsterdam cannot be true. </em>
<em>Secondly, there was no one called Eli in the annex. The event with the burglars was totally different. They were scared because they thought the burglars might see them, but in the end that did not happen. </em>
The Industrial Revolution. It added many machines and factories which in turn provided many jobs for many Americans.
