The Correct Answer is:

D. The Cold War led the Soviet Union to build a powerful military and invest heavily in new technologies such as space travel.

Explanation:

Following the end of World War II, the Soviets made rockets their priority as a powerful military asset. After World War II, the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union were tense and both countries were interlocked in a race to see who had the largest and greatest technology in space. The bumpy relationship between both countries was often marked by times of mistrust and obvious hostility. During this political roller-coaster, both nations increased their investments in military and new technologies.

D. The Cold War led the Soviet Union to build a powerful military and invest heavily in new technologies such as space travel.

Explanation:

The Cold War was a political, economic, social, military, informative and scientific confrontation initiated after the end of the Second World War between the Western (Western-Capitalist) bloc led by the United States, and the Eastern bloc (Eastern-Communist) led by the sovietic Union.

Its origin is usually between 1945 and 1947, during the tensions of the postwar period, and lasted until the dissolution of the Soviet Union (beginning of perestroika in 1985, nuclear accident of Chernobyl in 1986, fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 and failed coup in the USSR in 1949. Neither of the two blocks ever took direct actions against the other, which is why it was called "cold war."

The reasons for this confrontation were essentially ideological and political. On the one hand, the Soviet Union financed and supported revolutions, guerrillas and socialist governments, while the United States gave open support and propagated destabilizations and coups, especially in Latin America and Africa. In both cases, human rights were seriously violated.

Although these confrontations did not lead to a world war, the seriousness of the economic, political and ideological conflicts marked a significant part of the history of the second half of the 20th century. The two superpowers certainly wished to implant their model of government throughout the planet.

Some subsidiary wars of this era were: the Greek Civil War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cuban Revolution, the Lebanon Civil War, the Angolan Civil War, the Afghan-Soviet War, the Gulf War and Guatemala's civil war.
