Question

After World War II, Europe split into democratic and Communist portions. Why did this occur?

Answer 1

what do you know about world war ll

Answer 2

I know it was caused because of the Treaty of Versailles, the great depression, and the rise of militarism in Germany and japan. I know it ended because the soviets declared war and japan surrendered. and that the war included most of the states. Das about it

Answer 3

That's great info. All very important to the end result of the question. First off, Why do you think they would spit into 2 knowing that there are already tensions rising high due to politics?

Answer 4

I thought they would want to split to reduce that tension. Because at least then people could choose what side.

Answer 5

That's correct. What I know about WWII is that they wanted to divide the tension and help settle the "aftermath" of the war.

Answer 6

So would them trying to reduce tension be my answer?
