Explanation:
People all over the nation, even the world, responded with donations of clothing, food, and shelter. Doctors, nurses and Clara Barton and the American Red Cross arrived to provide medical assistance and emergency shelter and supplies. The Johnstown Flood was the first major disaster served by the recently formed Red Cross. Doctors worried especially about diseases that might breed in the unclean water and decaying bodies of humans and animals.
Undertakers volunteered for the gruesome task of preparing over 2,000 bodies for burial. 700 of the victims could not be identified. They were buried together in a new cemetery built high above the town. Recovering the bodies took weeks and cleaning up debris took months. Five thousand homes had been destroyed, so many families lived in tents. During recovery and relief efforts the state of Pennsylvania put Johnstown under martial (military) law, since many of the towns leaders had perished in the flood. General Hastings took charge for several months, making sure relief supplies went to survivors who needed them and keeping the press from taking over the town.

Answer:
The correct answer is <u>D</u>: Mikhail Gorbachev.
Explanation:
Mikhail Gorbachev was the last president of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991 and General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. His attempts toward reforms brought the end of the Cold War, but it also caused the end of the supreme political power of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In 1988, Gorbachev announced that the Soviet Union would abandon Brezhnev's doctrine and allow the citizens of the Eastern Bloc to choose their internal politics.
This proved to be the most radical step of Gorbachev's reform regarding foreign politics, which was called Sinatra's Doctrine. This reform led to a series of revolutions in Eastern Europe during 1989 when communism was overthrown.
The collapse of communism influenced the ending of the Cold War and Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 15, 1990.
