The best answer is **C. Germany**. After World War II, Germany was divided into East Germany (German Democratic Republic), which was under Soviet influence and a communist regime, and West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany), which was aligned with democratic Western nations. This division was a direct result of growing tensions between the East and West during the Cold War. Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia experienced tensions and eventual splits later, but Germany is the country that split specifically as a consequence of the conflicting ideologies post-WWII.
