The correct answer is:
c) Because one thought capitalism was best, and the other thought communism was best; there was competition between the 2 countries to spread their economic beliefs.
Explanation:
1. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as superpowers due to their differing ideologies.
2. The United States championed capitalism, promoting a free market economy and individual freedoms.
3. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, advocated for communism, emphasizing state control of the economy and the elimination of class distinctions.
4. This ideological divide led to a Cold War between the two countries, characterized by political, economic, and military competition.
5. The competition to spread their economic beliefs and ideologies globally solidified the US and the USSR as the two dominant superpowers in the post-World War II era.
