Question

Which of the following was the eventual result of the allied attempts to contain Soviet expansion?

Answer 1

Answer:

D) Western and communist countries formed rival military alliances.

Explanation:

After World War II, the United States and Soviet Union emerged as global superpowers. The US was determined to spread democratic ideas while the Soviet Union was more focused on spreading communism. This was one of the biggest reasons why both sides formed alliances with other countries.

The US helped to create the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) while the Soviet Union developed the Warsaw Pact.
