Camille Joyce · Answer 1

Right choice is.

c. began in Europe but quickly moved to confrontation throughout the world

Explanation:

The Cold War began around 1947 in Europe, though its origins are found in the final years of WWII. There were large number of troops stationed by both camps in Europe, bases, aircraft and nuclear missiles. A direct military conflict between the USA and the USSR never occurred, but the two superpowers supported satellite states in the Third World, where they fought proxy wars supporting governments or rebel movements ideologically aligned with them. The Cold War was a bipolar order with worldwide competition between capitalism and communism.
