Answer:
Correct answer is C. East Germany adopted a communist government while West Germany maintained Democratic influence.
Explanation:
Option C is the only correct answer as after WW2 Germany was divided into Eastern part, which was under influence of Soviet Union and Western part which was under influence of United States, Britain and France.
A therefore cannot be correct as both options are not correct. East Germany wasn't liberal, West Germany didn't had single party system.
B is not correct as there was no capitalism in East Germany and there was no state control in West Germany. It was the other way around.
D is not correct as there was no colonialism after WW2, while there was no totalitarianism, but democracy in West Germany.
Answer:s the United States enters the 21st century, it stands unchallenged as the world’s economic leader, a remarkable turnaround from the 1980s when many Americans had doubts about U.S. “competitiveness.” Productivity growth—the engine of improvement in average living standards—has rebounded from a 25-year slump of a little more than 1 percent a year to roughly 2.5 percent since 1995, a gain few had predicted.
Economic engagement with the rest of the world has played a key part in the U.S. economic revival. Our relatively open borders, which permit most foreign goods to come in with a zero or low tariff, have helped keep inflation in check, allowing the Federal Reserve to let the good times roll without hiking up interest rates as quickly as it might otherwise have done. Indeed, the influx of funds from abroad during the Asian financial crisis kept interest rates low and thereby encouraged a continued boom in investment and consumption, which more than offset any decline in American exports to Asia. Even so, during the 1990s, exports accounted for almost a quarter of the growth of output (though just 12 percent of U.S. gross domestic product at the end of the decade).
Yet as the new century dawns, America’s increasing economic interdependence with the rest of the world, known loosely as “globalization,” has come under attack. Much of the criticism is aimed at two international institutions that the United States helped create and lead: the International Monetary Fund, launched after World War II to provide emergency loans to countries with temporary balance-of-payments problems, and the World Trade Organization, created in 1995 during the last round of world trade negotiations, primarily to help settle trade disputes among countries.
The attacks on both institutions are varied and often inconsistent. But they clearly have taken their toll. For all practical purposes, the IMF is not likely to have its resources augmented any time soon by Congress (and thus by other national governments). Meanwhile, the failure of the WTO meetings in Seattle last December to produce even a roadmap for future trade negotiations—coupled with the protests that soiled the proceedings—has thrown a wrench into plans to reduce remaining barriers to world trade and investment.
For better or worse, it is now up to the United States, as it has been since World War II, to help shape the future of both organizations and arguably the course of the global economy. A broad consensus appears to exist here and elsewhere that governments should strive to improve the stability of the world economy and to advance living standards. But the consensus breaks down over how to do so. As the United States prepares to pick a new president and a new Congress, citizens and policymakers should be asking how best to promote stability and growth in the years ahead.

In the early modern world the "age of reason" and "Enlightenment" are the two terms that describe the intellectual characteristics of the eighteenth century.
The Enlightenment, commonly referred to as the Age of Reason, was an intellectual and cultural movement that promoted science over blind faith and reason over superstition in the eighteenth century.
The Age of Reason and the "long 18th century" are other names for the Enlightenment Period. It covered the years 1685 to 1815. Throughout Europe and the United States, philosophers and thinkers of the era held the view that science and reason could change and advance humanity.
Because of the emphasis on the superiority of reason over superstition and religion throughout that era, the 18th century is often referred to as the Age of Reason.
