 * a. most African colonies gained national independence**

The correct answer is A because most of the African countries gained independence post-WWII. The African countries and their leaders saw the surrounding conflict as a chance of taking matters into their own hands and detaching from their colonial rulers. The Europeans did fight back though, and persisted on keeping their colonies, nevertheless there was too much mayhem going on that African countries obtained their independence.

Truman Doctrine C, D and E are foreign diplomacy plans developed by either the USSR or the US. B is an international agreement amonst multiple nations. A is the correct answer since this event challenged Soviet domination in Czechoslovakia.

[|http://cornerhousecomments.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/voorpagina52.jpg] Which of the following best describes the lithograph above by German artist George Grosz?

a. A propaganda poster prepared for the Nuremberg Rally by the Nazi Party b. A protest against the atrocities of the atomic bomb c. A representation of a Holocaust victim from Dachau e A twentieth-century exemplifying the ideas of the Cubists
 * d. A post-WWI print expressing anti war sentiment**

This question is not the easiest as it requires quite a bit of knowledge in regard to dates and art history. A is wrong as George Grosz was strongly against the Nazi movement and did not support it in any way. B and C are wrong because of the time frame. This particular image was painted in the 1930s before the holocaust had occured and before the atom bomb had been dropped for the first time, making both these possibilities wrong. E is wrong as Cubists painted in a different manner, using multiple angles and perspectives simultaneously to represent the subject in a greater context. This image is sketched from one angle making it a more realist type of painting. D is the correct answer not only because the rest are wrong, but because thats what the image depicts, a poor war hero.
