6. • ukraine • kazakhstan • azerbaijan • uzbekistan • belarus the above list shows different countries that were independent countries prior to world war ii. were allies of the united states in the cold war. became communist willingly during the cold war. became independent after the fall of the soviet union.

The first is not true, as at least Ukraine and Belarus were not fully independent before the war. 

They were also all not allies of the US in the cold war, but instead part of the opposing power. 

They did not become communist voluntarily, but it was imposed on them by the Russians

The last answer is correct: they became independent after the fall of the Soviet Union. 

Blue ridge is the correct answer.
