Which international organization formed in 1947 coordinated European communist parties?

• A. Comintern
• B. Cominform
• C. Soviet Bloc Council
• D. United Communist League

Answer: (B)

After World War II, a centralized body was needed to align European communist parties with Moscow’s direction. In 1947, the Soviet Union created the Communist Information Bureau, known as Cominform, to coordinate and supervise the actions, policies, and propaganda of these parties across Europe. This made it the key mechanism for maintaining a united front among Communist parties during the early Cold War, ensuring they followed a single line.

The other options don’t fit because the Comintern, the earlier international Communist organization, had already been dissolved in 1943, so it could not be the body formed in 1947. The Soviet Bloc Council and the United Communist League are not the names of a real postwar organization that coordinated European communist parties.
