question 14 of 18
gorbachev’s policies of glasnost and perestroika allowed for ____ when anti-communist revolutions in poland and hungary began.

a. peaceful regime change

b. violent demonstrations

c. massive protests

d. violent revolution

Explanation:

Glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) under Gorbachev promoted political and social changes. The anti - communist revolutions in Poland and Hungary during this time were largely peaceful regime changes as the Soviet Union under Gorbachev did not intervene militarily to suppress them, unlike in previous Soviet - bloc uprisings. Violent demonstrations, massive protests (which were not the end result here), and violent revolution do not accurately describe the nature of these regime changes.

Answer:

A. peaceful regime change
