Europeans nations that aligned with the United States after World War II

were capitalistic and democratic

were also members of the Warsaw Pact

had centralized authoritarian governments

practiced collectivization of farming

Answer 1

The second answer

Answer 2

Actually, the first one is the right answer -- that they were capitalistic and democratic.

Many of those, particularly in Europe, were lifted up thanks to the Marshall Plan in order to stem the tide of communism which had dominated Eastern Europe. Japan became our best friend in the Far East thanks to a similar approach in promoting democracy and in getting their economy back on its feet in relatively the same way.

The Warsaw Pact was an alliance between a number of countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere that were aligned with the Soviets, tended to be authoritarian (like the Soviet Union), and practiced collectivization (again, like in the Soviet Union and Communist China).
