Explanation:
Off the top of my head:
The US devised the Manhattan project during ww2 and afterwards to develop nuclear weapons. The kept this secret from USSR even though they were allied. This contributed to Stalin’s paranoia and increased tensions between the two countries.
You also mention how Truman used this ‘atomic-monopoly’ to give him confidence and make him think that he could dictate decisions during the Potsdam conference and other meetings which heightened tensions with USSR.
Nuclear weapons also played a large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the point where nuclear war was at it’s closest to becoming reality and destroying the world.
By that point the USSR had also developed atomic bombs. The fact both superpowers had nuclear weapons meant they had to be sensitive in the way they handled each other and you could link this with Cuba and argue that it was the only reason the Cold War didn’t turn into full-scale, physical war.
There’s other things you could say beyond these points as well.
John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry was an effort to initiate a slave revolt by arming the slaves.
The correct answer is letter D. There was a wave of attacks in Western Europe in the Middle Age which has destroyed almost completely the Roman Empire, and has diminished the population. Even with such attacks Western Europe managed not to fall apart, and the Church had a big role. While the Roman Empire collapsed, the Church took over many government functions. The attacks were protagonized by ostrogoths, visigoths, vandals, vikings, muslims, persians, saxons.
