Question

Which of the following statements best describes the spread of communism in the years immediately following World War 2

Answer 1

In the absence of options to the question, please note as follows:

Post, World War II, most countries were struggling to set right their infrastructure and most of them were cash-strapped. It was the ideal situation for propagation and spread of communism, with their principles about classless society and collective property.

Initially people saw communists as those who have laid down arms and taken to peaceful means. But over a period of time, in communist states, several millions of people died of starvation, political purges, forced labour etc. as the communist governments tried to bring about drastic changes to the society.
