a. newly independent nations would become communist or ally themselves with the Soviet Union

Explanation:

During the period between the 1950's and 1970's, lot of new countries emerged on the world map as they were gaining independence from the colonial powers, most of which in Asia and Africa. This was also the period of the Cold War. Both the Soviets and the Americans were putting in a lot of effort to get their influence and control over some of the new countries. The Americans feared that the Soviets will be quicker in that, and that lot of the newly formed countries will become communist, or at least would ally with the Soviets and be under their wing. Some of the newly formed nations indeed became communist and Soviet allies, and unfortunately for the people in those countries, the Soviets and the Americans were using them and their territory to wage their warfare for dominance in the world.
