Question

What lead many citizens of eastern europe nations to rebel against their communist governments

Answer 1

There are multiple answers to that question... Since it seems they expect you to list common factors for the Eastern European dissatisfaction with their communist governments rather than choosing one from a multiple choice list, here are some possible answers:
- Most communist regimes were comprised (and dominated) by small groups of individuals who refused many communist beliefs.
- The economic situation of Eastern European communist countries was really deplorable, and their citizens realized this through the media (TV, newspapers, etc..)
- Certain ideological, religious groups (such as the Polish Catholic Church) provided some leadership to the opposition.
- These countries could not compete with capitalist Western countries in terms of economy and medicine.
- Americans made promises to the new countries after they got rid of communism; letting multi-nationalism take over.

Answer 2

1) Living conditions: Living conditions were hard, as many famiilies didn't have anything special (they worked pretty much the same, in the fields or in factories and such). Food were eaten in a big ol' room, and they usually slept in a large house. Living conditions became worse and worse as time grew on.
2) Mistreatment: Many citizens felt that they were mistreated and that they didn't have enough rights, and so they tried to protest. Of course that was knocked down, and so they were all the more angry.
3) Help from the NATO and US; As the US promised satellite nations of USSR that if they broke away, they would be able to enter into the Marshall Plan (a plan that lent money too countries to help them rebuild) Because USSR really didn't help their satellite nations much in a way, many broke away to try to rebuild both their country, political system, and the way they run things.

hope this helps
