  2. The formation of NATO
  3. The fall of the Berlin Wall
  4. The bombing of Hiroshima
Explanation
Answer: C - The fall of the Berlin Wall was a precursor to the end of the Cold War. The Cold War was a term used to describe the political conflict between communism and democracy, specifically between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1989, Eastern Germany-part of the communist Eastern Bloc-started to allow its citizens to move freely in and out of the country. This new freedom was one of the events that led up to the end of the Cold War in 1991.
