A.NATO led by the USA; Warsaw Pact led by the USSR
B.NATO led by the USSR; Warsaw Pact led by the USA
C.NATO led by China; Warsaw Pact led by India
D.Both alliances led only by the Non-Aligned Movement
Explanation: NATO was the principal US-led Western military alliance (1949); the Warsaw Pact (1955) was the Soviet-led Eastern alliance.
2Bipolarity during the Cold War meant that world politics was structured mainly around:
A.Many equal great powers with no leading camps at all
B.Two dominant camps headed by the United States and the Soviet Union
C.A single world government elected by all continents
D.One colonial empire controlling all global trade alone
Explanation: Bipolarity refers to the two-pole structure of US-led and Soviet-led blocs that organised alliances and rivalry until 1991.
3Why is the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) highlighted in Contemporary World Politics?
A.It permanently ended the Cold War the same month
B.It created the European Union
C.It was the closest approach to nuclear war between the superpowers and spurred crisis management
D.It immediately dissolved the Warsaw Pact
Explanation: October 1962 was the peak nuclear brinkmanship of the Cold War; diplomacy defused the crisis and encouraged later limited arms-control steps.
4Gorbachev’s twin reform slogans aimed at:
A.Tightening Stalinist censorship and freezing central planning unchanged
B.Annexing Western Europe into the USSR by force
C.Founding the European Union under Moscow’s presidency
D.Opening political discussion (glasnost) and restructuring the system (perestroika)
Explanation: Glasnost meant greater openness; perestroika meant restructuring. Together they were meant to revitalise the USSR but helped unleash forces that contributed to its collapse.
5In discussions of post-Soviet economic transition, ‘shock therapy’ mainly denotes:
A.A rapid jump to markets via sudden liberalisation and privatisation
B.Keeping full state ownership and fixed prices forever
C.Rebuilding Comecon and the Warsaw Pact
D.A WHO vaccination campaign limited to Eastern Europe
Explanation: Shock therapy describes a swift shift from command economies to market prices, privatisation, and openness—often with harsh short-run social costs.
6Most Class 12 treatments of the post-1991 order emphasise an early phase of:
A.Restored USA–USSR bipolarity
B.US predominance (unipolarity/hegemony), later challenged by multipolar trends
C.Total end of all great-power rivalry
D.NAM becoming a single world empire
Explanation: After the Soviet collapse, the USA stood as the unmatched power; later texts also track the rise of other centres of power.

A.Command-economy stagnation
B.Nationalist movements in the republics
C.A 1991 nuclear exchange that destroyed both superpower capitals
D.Reform policies that weakened central control

A.US exit from every international organisation
B.Soviet control of NATO and the IMF after 1991
C.Elimination of the dollar from world finance in 1992
D.Military reach, economic weight, and cultural/institutional soft power without a Soviet peer
Explanation: US primacy combined hard power with soft power in a system without a matching Soviet rival.
