The answer is B.

Explanation:

The period after World War II saw the end of British, French and another European colonial empires. The power and influence of Western Europe was significantly diminished following the unimaginable carnage and destruction of the last world war. Two countries emerged as superpowers: the US and the USSR. There was global confrontation between them, and this is what we call the Cold War.
