Answer 1

Option: b) The Soviets crushed the Democratic parties and aided a coup.

Explanation:

After World War II, a Cold War began in Europe. Joseph Stalin wanted Communist countries to protect the USSR.

The Soviet Union intervened militarily in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and others to hold their power.
