Answer:

<h2>D. Europe</h2>

Explanation:

The western members of the Allies (Britain, France and the United States) and their wartime partner in the alliance, the Soviet Union, were at odds over how Europe would be governed after the war. The Western democracies wanted free and open elections in the countries of Eastern Europe coming out from under Nazi domination. The Soviet Union wanted states allied and aligned with it to prevent any future aggression against the USSR (like how Germany had invaded). The USSR ended up heavily influencing the Eastern European countries to align with communism, bringing them behind what Winston Churchill called "The Iron Curtain."

The situation of Germany itself was also a tension spot. Germany was divided between the four Allied nations (Britain, France, the USA, and the USSR). The British, French and American sectors combined their governance of West Germany and West Berlin. This prompted the Soviets to blockade Berlin (located within the Soviet sector of East Germany). The American side responded with the Berlin Airlift to keep West Berlin free of Soviet control.

These were some of the events fueling tensions in the Cold War that was developing between the USA and its democratic allies and the USSR and its communist partners.

Since about 1960, most Westernized countries have experienced a dramatic

Irina18 [472]

The correct answer is B. Increase in the incidence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

Explanation:

Both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders that involve unhealthy habits such as restricting food intake or inducing oneself to vomit after eating. These habits aim at making the individual thin, although in most cases individuals suffering from these disorders are underweight and unhealthy even to the point their lives are at risk.

Besides this, the incidence of these eating disorders has increased over time; indeed, in westernized countries anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa increase in incidence since 1960. This is explained because one of the factors that contribute to the development of both disorders is cultural ideas about thinness, and since 1960 the idea of being thin has increased in importance which is supported in media by mainly including actors or models that are unrealistically thin. Also, since the 1960s there has been an emphasis on body image, healthy weight, and diets.
