Which of the following was one reason that World War II alliances broke down following the end of the conflict


Britain refused to impose reparations on Germany and other aggressor nations.


France refused to permit socialist parties to participate in government.


Stalin broke promises to allow free elections in Eastern Europe.


Roosevelt insisted on maintaining an American occupation zone in Germany

Respuesta :

Your answer should be C.) Stalin broke promises to allow free elections in Eastern Europe

Stalin made it clear that after the war, he wanted Polish land. The other allies were not for this, but knew that they could not stop him. The only restriction they made him agree to was to let them hold free elections. While Stalin agreed, he did no end up keeping this promise. Thus, the tensions between the Soviet Union and America began.

Hope this helps!

The correct answer is: "Stalin broke promises to allow free elections in Eastern Europe".

After WWII the URSS, headed by Stalin, exercised its influence and turned most Eastern European countries into soviet republics. This is why the United States, made alliances with other Western countries and started its containment strategy, aiming to stop the expansion of communism worldwide. These facts gave rise to the whole Cold War conflict.
