The Eastern European military alliance of the Cold War is known as the ...

• A. Warsaw Pact
• B. Westward Expansion
• C. Yellow Journalism
• D. Vietnam War

Answer: (A)

The idea tested is recognizing the name of the alliance formed by Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War to counter Western powers. The Warsaw Pact was established in 1955 as a Soviet-led mutual defense treaty, uniting Eastern European states and coordinating their armed forces under Soviet command to maintain influence in the region and counter NATO. Other options don’t fit because they describe a different concept: Westward Expansion refers to broader territorial or political growth westward, Yellow Journalism means sensationalist reporting, and the Vietnam War was a separate conflict in Southeast Asia. So the correct term is the Warsaw Pact.
