Answer: The detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

Explanation:

The correct answer is the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil because,

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) in their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage. I remember taking a test on this.

The proof that shows that the United States' was willing to compromise on their human rights agenda when it helped meet its Cold War Interests is:

As a result, the United States actively worked to destabilize Chile's economy and to foster resentment against Allende.

<h3>What is Compromise?</h3>

This refers to the change in policy or values of a person so as to achieve a set goal which is usually unpleasant.

With this in mind, we can see that the United States were ready to compromise their values so that they could win the Cold War by meddling in the affairs of a sovereign nation to oust their leader.
