History

Answer:

No, Buchanan's victory was not a landslide one.

Explanation:

James Buchanan was the 15th President of the United States, elected on November 4, 1856. In that election he defeated John C. Fremont, of the Republican Party, and Millard Fillmore, of the Know Nothing Party.

In the popular vote, he obtained 45.28% of the votes, compared to 33.11% for Fremont and 21.54% for Fillmore. He obtained a greater distance in the electoral vote, but in no way was it a huge difference, but rather a fairly balanced electoral contest between the different participating forces. Therefore, in no way can it be said that his triumph was a landslide victory.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

<h2>D. The Soviet border between communist East and mostly democratic West.</h2>

Context/explanation:

US president Franklin Roosevelt, British prime minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet premier Joseph Stalin, the leaders of the Allies in World War II, met at Yalta in February, 1945.  Churchill and Roosevelt pushed strongly for Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war. At that time Stalin agreed, but there was a strong feeling by the other leaders that he might renege on that promise. The Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. Later, Winston Churchill wrote, ""Our hopeful assumptions were soon to be falsified." Stalin and the Soviets felt they needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests.   A line of countries in Eastern Europe came into line with the USSR and communism.  Churchill later would say an "iron curtain" had fallen between Western and Eastern Europe.
