The correct answer is D) The division of Europe into East and West.

After World War II, Europe would see the development of two very different political systems in Eastern and Western Europe. In western Europe, many countries would continue their democratic systems of government while eastern Europe was heavily influenced by the communist system (thanks to the Soviet Union). This would create what Winston Churchill would call the "Iron Curtain" that separated democratic nations from communist nations.
