What were the issues surrounding eisenhower's decision not to push to berlin?

1 answer:

6 0

Eisenhower himself gave three reasons not to push on to Berlin:

His armies were already well beyond the line agreed upon with the Soviets for the Western occupation zones. He did not want to offend Stalin and knew that any added territory taken would be handed over to Soviet control.

He had some concerns about his troops meeting Soviet troops if both were pursuing the same goal.

Berlin was only a political objective, not a military objective, General Eisenhower said.

It also was a factor that one of Eisenhower's field commanders had estimated that for US troops to take Berlin could cost as many as 100,000 casualties. The Soviet armies bore the cost. 30,000 Soviet soldiers died in the Battle of Berlin.

Explanation:

The NAACP’s legal strategy against segregated education culminated in the 1954 Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. African Americans gained the formal, if not the practical, right to study alongside their white peers in primary and secondary schools. The decision fueled an intransigent, violent resistance during which Southern states used a variety of tactics to evade the law.

In the summer of 1955, a surge of anti-black violence included the kidnapping and brutal murder of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till, a crime that provoked widespread and assertive protests from black and white Americans. By December 1955, the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott led by Martin Luther King, Jr., began a protracted campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience to protest segregation that attracted national and international attention.

During 1956, a group of Southern senators and congressmen signed the “Southern Manifesto,” vowing resistance to racial integration by all “lawful means.” Resistance heightened in 1957–1958 during the crisis over integration at Little Rock’s Central High School. At the same time, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights led a successful drive for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and continued to press for even stronger legislation. NAACP Youth Council chapters staged sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters, sparking a movement against segregation in public accommodations throughout the South in 1960. Nonviolent direct action increased during the presidency of John F. Kennedy, beginning with the 1961 Freedom Rides.
