please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• World War I predated the rise of both fascist and communist power blocs as major global concerns.
• The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) saw fascist forces (backed by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy) fighting against Republican forces that included communist supporters, making fears of the spread of both ideologies a core driving factor for international involvement and tensions around the conflict.
• World War II was primarily defined by the fight against fascism, with the communist Soviet Union being an allied power for much of the war, so fear of communism was not a unifying driving force during the conflict.
• The Anglo-Egyptian War focused on colonial control, not fascist or communist spread.

Answer:

c. Spanish Civil War.
