U.S. History/History


All of the following contributed to relative stability during the early years of the cold war except? A. crushing the Hungarian uprising B. Creation of east Germany C. Chinese communist victory in the Chinese civil war D. America rebuking it's allies Britain and france during the suez crisis


This is a rather poorly written question since all four of these things potentially led to instability and all out war between the major powers.  I think what the question is trying to ask is what events help set the stage for the Cold War between Communist and non-communist powers and better define the sides.   If that is the case, then D. is the right answer as that ended up being a dispute between several non-communist powers.
