The Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and Germany was reunified in:

  1. 1989
  2. 1990
  3. 1991
  4. 1992
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 1990

1. The wall was opened in 1989, ending the physical division of Berlin. 2. Formal reunification of the two German states followed in 1990. 3. Both belong to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc rather than to its causes. 4. The Warsaw Pact collapsed in the same period, and former communist leaders across Eastern Europe were arrested. 5. Yugoslavia then broke into republics including Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro, and Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. _Source: NECTA ACSEE 2023 History 112/2, Question 5: The Rise of Socialism in the World_

Patrice Lumumba was assassinated in 1961, which means his death:

  1. caused the collapse of the Soviet Union
  2. predates the collapse of the Eastern Bloc
  3. followed the fall of the Berlin Wall
  4. occurred during German reunification
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. predates the collapse of the Eastern Bloc

1. Lumumba was killed in 1961, during the early years of African independence. 2. The Eastern Bloc collapsed at the end of the 1980s and start of the 1990s. 3. His death therefore comes roughly three decades earlier. 4. An event cannot be an effect of something that happens long after it. 5. Offering the assassination as a consequence of the Soviet collapse was exactly the recorded error, and the dates alone rule it out. _Source: NECTA ACSEE 2023 History 112/2, Question 5: The Rise of Socialism in the World_
