The rise of the Soviet Union as a major power undercut U.S. plans for a unipolar world based on free
trade and democracy. Foreign policy became a binary choice between the Soviet bloc or America. The answer is C.

During the Second World War (1939-45), America and Great Britain joined in common cause with the Soviet Union to defeat the Axis Powers of fascist Germany, Italy and Japan. The answer is A.

In 1944, Britain and America established with the Bretton Woods conference three major goals: 1) make
funds available for postwar reconstruction and development; 2) to control the currency chaos  that follows wars by making funds contingent upon sound monetary practices; 3) reduce or eliminate trade barriers. From Bretton Woods came the World Bank and the IMF. The president of the World Bank has traditionally been American, the managing director for the IMF, European. The answer is D.

America had warm relations with the Vietnamese since the waning days of the Second World War. Ho Chi Minh’s partisans provided America with intelligence without pay (to the astonishment of the Americans)! Roosevelt for his part was hostile to a return of imperialism and openly complained that the French had done nothing for the Vietnamese in a hundred years of rule. Instead, he proposed an international trusteeship that would lead to eventual independence Vietnamese. This proposal was flatly
rejected by the French and British. When Ho took it upon himself to declare Vietnam’s independence, a band struck up the Star-Spangled Banner (Patti). Ho’s speech quoted liberally from America’s own Declaration of Independence: Compatriots of the entire nation assembled: “We hold truths that all men are created equal, they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” This immortal statement is extracted from the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America in 1776. Understood in the broader sense, this means: “All the peoples on the earth are born equal; every person has the right to live to be happy and free.” The answer is B.

Jean Kirkpatrick, President Ronald Reagan’s ambassador to the UN, argued there was a fundamental difference between authoritarian government (dictator on the right), and totalitarian (dictator on the left) -- authoritarian governments can eventually reform into democracies, totalitarian dictators cannot (the Kirkpatrick Doctrine). Moreover, authoritarian dictators have greater respect for private property and market forces. America placed a greater importance on private property than free elections. Nowhere are these principles more clearly demonstrated than America’s policies towards Latin America. The answer is B.

When Russia reacted to NATO’s decision to expand to the East, the issue was solved with the establishment of a bilateral cooperation program with former Warsaw Pact called Partnership for Peace that was agreed in 1993. Therefore, the correct choice is D.

the Soviets became the first to successfully launch a satellite into orbit. Every 98 minutes Sputnik announced its presence overhead with a steady beep. Americans could well imagine a similar rocket carrying a nuclear warhead. The public, including John F. Kennedy, believed that the Soviets were “turning out missiles like sausages from a conveyor belt” (to quote Soviet premier, Nikita Khrushchev). Kennedy accused Eisenhower of failing to close the Missile Gap between the U.S. and USSR. The answer is C.

Middle East diplomacy was and is marked by an irreconcilable relationship between Arabs and Jews, originating from the search for a Jewish homeland in the late 19th century on Arab lands. The answer is A.
