Correct answer: D. to convince the Soviets to give them aid, though the proclaimed ideological transformation was false

  • A. in an attempt to get Soviet aid for a transformation into a communist state
  • B. in an effort to frighten neighbors into giving it territorial concessions
  • C. in order to quell a rebellion by a pro-Marxist group called UNITA
  • D. to convince the Soviets to give them aid, though the proclaimed ideological transformation was false

Explanation

Angola’s MPLA used Marxist-Leninist language largely to secure Soviet and Cuban backing during the Cold War, rather than because it was pursuing a consistently communist transformation. UNITA was its opponent, not a pro-Marxist rebellion that the government was trying to suppress.
