|||d, c. d, c, b, d, a,b, b, c|||I understand you need to do your homework for school and I think just some basic research on the Cold War will accomplish this for you most of these answers would even be included in an encyclopedia. I'm not going to do your homework for you and you will think this reason will sound really lame, I know you think you will never get out of school and this is all for nothing so why not have someone else do it, but the fact of the matter is you only get to be in school for a short time, learning things and experiencing things before your primary task is one of responsibility. Take that advantage now and don't cheat yourself, because in addition when you get to college this will catch up with you and not knowing how to do research will plague you in nearly every discipline, so good luck and learn something about the cold war.
