In the 30 years after World War II, which area was most influenced by the Soviet Union

• Southeast Asia

• North Africa

• Eastern Europe

• Central America

The events that took place in Hungary in the 1950's and in Czechoslovakia in the 1960's demonstrated the Soviet Union's

• support of nationalism among satellite nations

• influence on the economies of developing nations

• determination to maintain political control over Eastern Europe at that time

• attempts to promote its artistic and literary achievements in Western Europe

The revolt in Hungary (1956), the demonstrations in Czechoslovakia (1968), and the formation of Solidarity in Poland (1980's) are similar in that they

• were movements to restore the power of the aristocracy

• were tolerated by the Communist leaders, who accepted the need for change

• represented a challenge to Communist leadership

• represented attempts to rid these countries of Western ideas and influence

The 1956 invasion of Hungary and the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union were attempts to

• keep Communist governments in power in Eastern Europe

• decrease Cold War tensions between Eastern Europe and the United States

• prevent German militarism from spreading throughout Europe

• provide humanitarian aid to the ethnic minorities of these nations

In Eastern Europe during the 1950's and 1960's, the Soviet Union responded to challenges to its control by

• allowing free elections when necessary

• imposing prompt and severe repression

• obtaining United Nations assistance

• granting independence to its satellite nations

•Hungarian Revolution (1956)

•Prague Spring (1968)

•Formation of Solidarity in Poland (1979)

One way in which these events are similar is that each is an example of

• a reaction of a Warsaw Pact nation to the actions of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

• violence resulting from massive food shortages

• opposition to communism in Eastern Europe

• the failure of the European Economic Community (Common Market) to unify its tariffs

The goal of Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies of perestroika and glasnost was to

• expand collectivization and communes

• resume development of Soviet nuclear weapons

• stimulate economic growth and political discussion

• stop expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into Eastern Europe
