East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia resisted Soviet control despite being a communist nation
Explanation:
- Khrushchev's policy of "coexistence" with the West did not mean that he was willing to recognize the peace settlement in Germany.
- he was determined to change it in favor of the Soviet Union and its East German satellite
- The Western powers refused the plan because the abolition of the U.S. "nuclear umbrella" would not leave NATO forces.
- both the Soviet and East German governments still continued to achieve the goal of a united, Germany under communist control.
- there was also a significant increase in academic and cultural contacts with the West.
Answer:
The origin of the Spring Festival now is too old to be traced. It is widely believed that the word ‘Nian'(in Chinese means 'year'), was first the name of a monster beast that started to prey on human being at the night before the beginning of a new year. It had a very big mouth that would swallow many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue ‘Nian'. He said to ‘Nian' that ‘I hear that you are quite capable, but can you swallow other beasts on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?' Hence, ‘Nian' did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time. After that, the old man who turned out to be an immoral fairy disappeared riding the beast ‘Nian'. Now that ‘Nian' had gone and other beasts of prey are scared off into the forests, people began to enjoy their life in peace and happiness. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away ‘Nian' in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color that the beast feared most.
