Explanation
2. Which of the following, if true, would weaken the claim that the Allied powers had something to gain from the deportations?
Difficulty Level: 750
I. The United States believed that the Eastern and Central European powers hoped to create more multicultural, ethnically mixed societies.
This statement, if true, suggests that the Eastern and Central European powers had different motivations for the deportations than those attributed to them in the passage. If these powers were aiming for more multicultural and ethnically mixed societies, it contradicts the idea that they were primarily focused on ethnic homogeneity. This weakens the claim that the deportations were driven solely by a desire to punish Germans and increase ethnic homogeneity.
II. The Soviet Union wanted to profit from post-war trade between Germany and Poland.
This statement, if true, introduces an alternative motivation for the Soviet Union's actions. If the Soviet Union was primarily interested in economic gains from trade, it weakens the claim that their main goal was to undermine relations between Germany and Poland through the deportations.
III. Britain, weary of the killing during the war, pledged itself to preventing suffering.
This statement, if true, suggests that Britain's motivation for supporting the deportations was not to reinforce the completeness of Germany's defeat, but rather to prevent suffering. This contradicts the idea that Britain had something to gain from the deportations and weakens the claim that they were solely interested in causing suffering.
Overall, if any of these statements are true, they provide alternative explanations for the motivations of the Allied powers, which weakens the claim that they had something to gain from the deportations. Since all three statements (I, II, and III) provide such alternative explanations, the correct answer is (E) I, II, and III.
Answer: E
