7- The correct answer is A. The Soviet Union tried to make treaties with Western democracies, but Western nations were suspicious of the threat of communism.

This was partly due to the fact that previously the Soviets had agreed with the Nazi Germany the joint invasion of Poland, which was a clear negative antecedent that markedly diminished their confidence before the Allied eyes.

8- The correct answer is C. The Japanese invasion of Manchuria heightened tensions in Asia, making Japan a focus of Western nations in the coming war.

China fought with the economic support of the Soviet Union and the United States against Japan whose economic support came from Nazi Germany.

11- The correct answer is B, as it can be inferred that Churchill did not believe the policy of appeasement would achieve its goals.

The speech was pronounced after the Munich Agreements, in which the United Kingdom and France met with Germany and Italy with the aim of solving the Sudeten Crisis.

Arthur Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister at that time, maintained a policy of appeasement with respect to the German and Italian aggressions in Europe and the Mediterranean. Churchill, as it is exposed in the speech, did not believe that the aggressions were going to stop but on the contrary, that they would increase, for what was against these policies.

12- The correct answer is B, as Francisco Franco contributed to the causes of WW2 by giving Germany a chance to experiment with new weapons in Spanish territories, mostly during the Spanish Civil War.
