Discussion
Pentagonal International System of 1970s included
Answer: C
The pentagon was USA, USSR, China, Japan and Western Europe.
The idea of a pentagonal or five-power world was set out by US President Richard Nixon in 1971 and associated with Henry Kissinger's diplomacy. It described a shift from the rigid bipolar Cold War towards five centres of power: the two superpowers, plus China after its opening to the US, Japan as an economic power, and Western Europe as a bloc.
The other options are wrong because they name single European states (the UK, Germany) or a vague 'East Asia' instead of Western Europe as a whole and Japan.
