Explanation:

After World - War II, the US formed alliances like NATO with Western democracies, and the Soviet Union formed the Warsaw Pact with Eastern European socialist states, based on shared political philosophies. Women in the US already had the right to vote before WWII, and both countries' influence increased rather than declined. There were no major political revolutions in the US and the Soviet Union after WWII that aimed to overthrow their governments.

Answer:

B. Both countries quickly formed close alliances with states that shared their political philosophies.
