Translation
In which military alliance was the GDR a member?
- A in NATO
- B in the Confederation of the Rhine
- C in the Warsaw Pact ✓ Correct answer
- D in the European Alliance
Explanation
The GDR (East Germany) aligned with the Soviet Union during the Cold War and was a member of the Warsaw Pact, the Eastern bloc’s military alliance formed in 1955 as a counterweight to NATO.
Tips
- Link old War alignments: Western states = NATO; Eastern bloc under the USSR = Warsaw Pact.
- Eliminate anachronisms: the onfederation of the Rhine relates to Napoleonic-era German states, not the 20th century.
- Watch for made-up or vague terms: anything like a generic “European alliance” without a historical name is suspect.
- Use timeline cues: the GDR existed from 1949–1990; match alliances from that period.
