This question comes from the American History section of the 2025 Civics Test. USCIS includes it to confirm applicants know the founding events and figures behind U.S. citizenship, not just civics theory. The accepted answer, "Soviet Union", is worth memorizing exactly since dates and names are graded strictly in the interview.
