Answer 1

The Yalta Conference resulted in the division of Germany into four zones controlled by the Allies, laying the groundwork for Europe's postwar structure and the later Cold War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is related to the historical topic of the Yalta Conference and the postwar planning for Germany. In February 1945, the Big Three: Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill met in the Soviet city of Yalta to discuss the terms of Germany's surrender and the structure of postwar Europe.

A key outcome was the division of Germany into four zones which were to be occupied and administered by the Allies: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union.

These decisions were significant in shaping the geopolitical landscape of Europe following World War II and also set the stage for the Cold War.

The correct answer is option English. In the given exercise, the student is asked to write the word before each missing semicolon or colon and add the correct punctuation mark. Let's go through each question:

In February of 1945, three powerful leaders met in Yalta, a seaside resort in Soviet Russia (semicolon) and they discussed the future of the postwar world.

Attending the conference were Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the United States (semicolon) Winston Churchill, prime minister of Great Britain (comma) and Joseph Stalin, premier of the Soviet Union.

World War II was not yet over (semicolon) nevertheless, the 'Big Three' were confident that Germany would soon surrender.

The Big Three were concerned about Germany (semicolon) they didn't want this nation to start a third world war.
