Answer 1

Answer:

b.to increase US influence and control. is correct answer .

Answer 2

b) to increase US influence and control.

Explanation:

• After World War II the USSR relations deteriorated. Though they worked to overthrow Nazi Germany together, both nations differed very differently from one another from the post-war Europe. The US confronted Stalin's taking over Eastern Europe. When the 2 nations emerged as competing superpowers, the differing idéologies of "communism & capitalism", "dictatorship & democracy" separated. The use of the nuclear bomb in WWII and the consequent nuclear arms race had intensified tensions.
• The US and the USSR had a close friendship before the Second World War because of strong ideological differences. Though initially the "Russian Revolution" of 1"917" was viewed as a democratic revolution — with the farming majority opposing the Tsar power — the US did not support the subsequent rise of the Bolsheviks. The US administration declined till 1933 to accept the new govt, & US president Roosevelt opposed the Soviet dictatorship. The Americans became much more wary of them when the Soviets signed a 1939 deal with "Nazi Germany" & then invaded Finland & absorbed parts of "Eastern Europe"..
