Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the question.
Another feature of the post-Cold War era is that since the West has become the victor of the East-West ideological rivalry, Western systems and Western influences, in general, have started to dominate the whole world. For example, the United States has visibly enhanced its influence in the Middle East and in the Caucasus since the end of the Cold War. The invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in August 1990 and the following Gulf Crisis, in a way, created an opportunity for the United States to exercise its hegemonic power in the Middle East. In the following years, in the absence of a counterpower, the influence of the United States increased further. With the military operation in Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the United States perpetuated its dominance in the region. The region of the Caucasus was formerly under the Russian sphere of influence. But the United States managed to enter this energy-rich region with some new allies that used to be part of the Soviet Union, such as Azerbaijan, Ukraine, and Georgia. Although Russia certainly did not want the United States' presence in the region, its ability to prevent it has remained limited. Likewise, NATO expanded to include Eastern Europe, a region that also used to be under Soviet influence. Russia, in the beginning, tried to resist NATO expansion, posing several threats, including creating a counter-defence organisation. But it was eventually convinced by the project of "partnership for peace," through which it preserved many of its privileges in Eastern European countries.
