What issue led to the construction of the Berlin Wall?

A.) new American intervention in Europe

*B.) Soviet attempts to control all of Germany

C.) the removal of U.S. troops from Berlin

*D.) U.S. refusal to recognize a divided Germany

Not sure if it's B or D.

Although it's not complete, probably the best answer is B.

It's my understanding that the Berlin Wall was built to keep East Germans from moving out of their Soviet-dominated country.

I agree with Ms. Sue.

Thank you very much

For any of you looking up the answer, listen to Quizlet. Originally, I thought it was B, but Khrushchev called Kennedy "intolerable" for not respecting a divided Germany. The answer is D.

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options:

A.) new American intervention in Europe - This option is not directly related to the construction of the Berlin Wall.

B.) Soviet attempts to control all of Germany - This option is likely to be the correct answer, as the Berlin Wall was built by the Soviet-controlled East German government to prevent East Berliners from fleeing to West Berlin. This action represents the Soviet Union's attempt to maintain control over East Germany.

C.) the removal of U.S. troops from Berlin - While the removal of U.S. troops occurred after the construction of the Berlin Wall, it is not the primary reason for its construction. Therefore, this option is not the correct answer.

D.) U.S. refusal to recognize a divided Germany - While the refusal of the United States to recognize a divided Germany may have contributed to tensions during the Cold War, it is not directly related to the construction of the Berlin Wall.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is B - Soviet attempts to control all of Germany, as this was the primary factor that led to the construction of the Berlin Wall.
