3. Based on the map, the division of the city of Berlin was a key issue during the Cold War because:
A. Because Berlin is located within East Germany, the Soviets were able to cut it off from the western nations. The city of Berlin was located deep within the territory of East Germany, which was under Soviet control. As a result, the Soviets had the ability to cut off access to the city from the Western nations, which created a physical and symbolic division between the East and the West.
4. Based on the graph, some conclusions that can be made include:
A. The number of flights and the amount of supplies gradually increased. The graph shows an upward trend in both the number of flights and the amount of supplies delivered over time, indicating a gradual increase in the efforts to supply Berlin.
C. The amount of supplies delivered in April 1949 was more than triple that in July 1948. The graph clearly shows a significant increase in the amount of supplies delivered in April 1949 compared to July 1948, indicating a substantial increase in the supply efforts.
E. The Soviet blockade of Berlin was successful because it cost too much for these flights. Although not explicitly mentioned in the graph, it can be inferred that the Soviet blockade of Berlin posed significant challenges to the supply efforts, as indicated by the need for numerous flights to sustain the city. This suggests that the blockade was successful in disrupting normal supply routes and necessitated costly alternative methods to sustain the city.
5. True. The United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a Nuclear Arms race as a means to ensure a balance of power and deter each other from starting a war that could result in mutual destruction. Both countries sought to develop and stockpile nuclear weapons to guarantee their security and maintain a deterrence against any potential aggression.
