Question

In regard to the bipolar divisions during the Cold War, which of the following was NOT among the five unaligned European states by 1980
Austria
Finland
Sweden
Czechoslovakia
Switzerland

Answer 1

Answer:

Czechoslovakia

Explanation:

Czechoslovakia was not among the five unaligned European states because it was part of the Soviet sphere of power. By 1980, Czechoslovakia was ruled by the Communist Pary, and the General Secretariat was Gustáv Husák.

In fact, eleven years before, in 1968, the country had experienced the Prague Spring, in which thousands of people marched in Prague asking for more political and civil rights. This movement ended when the Soviet Army invaded Prague with tanks.
