Explanation
★Both statements are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.
★The end of the Cold War did end the great ideological clash of capitalism and communism.
★New conflicts then arose around identity, ethnicity and religion.
★Religious fundamentalism is indeed a real threat to security today.
★But this threat is a later development, not the cause of the ideological shift.
★So both are true while the reason does not explain the assertion.
