which pairing is correct regarding the post wwii superpowers?
the usa rejected the united nations, while the ussr rejected the league of nations
the usa wanted to spread democracy, while the ussr wanted to join nato
the usa practiced containment, while the ussr wanted to spread communism
the usa rejected laissez-faire economics, while the ussr wanted to spread laissez-faire economics

Explanation:

• The USA was a founding member of the UN, and the League of Nations dissolved before WWII, so the first option is wrong.
• NATO was an anti-Soviet alliance; the USSR never sought to join it, so the second option is wrong.
• Post-WWII, the US used the Containment policy to stop Soviet expansion, while the USSR aimed to spread communist ideology globally, making this pairing correct.
• The US supported laissez-faire economics, and the USSR used a planned communist economy, so the fourth option is wrong.

Answer:

The USA practiced Containment, while the USSR wanted to spread Communism
