2. The correct answer is C. "East Berliners could no longer visit West Berliners."
The Berlin Wall split up Berlin into two distinct parts with two very different societies. East Berlin became controlled by the Soviet Union while West Berlin was controlled by the US and other members of the allied forces from World War II. Citizens were not allowed to access the other side. This split up families, caused people to lose their jobs, and resulted in violence/death (as many tried to escape to West Berlin but were killed by armed guards).

President Ronald Reagan was anti-communistic. Before Gorbachev came to power, he used to profess his absolute abhorrence of the Soviet Union and would have nothing to do with them. But his views mellowed somewhat after Gorbachev, however, it did not mean he changed his views about communism but he was more concerned with the threat of nuclear weapons and he saw that it was possible to achieve peaceful relations with the Soviet Union, even though that peaceful relation took a long time to happen.
Indian Removal Act summary: After demanding both political and military action on removing Native American Indians from the southern states of America in 1829, President Andrew Jackson signed this into law on May 28, 1830. Although it only gave the right to negotiate for their withdrawal from areas to the east of the Mississippi river and that relocation was supposed to be voluntary, all of the pressure was there to make this all but inevitable. All the tribal leaders agreed after Jackson’s landslide election victory in 1832.
It is generally acknowledged that this act spelled the end of Indian Rights to live in those states under their own traditional laws. They were forced to assimilate and concede to US law or leave their homelands. The Indian Nations themselves were force to move and ended up in Oklahoma.
The five major tribes affected were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. These were called The Civilised Tribes that had already taken on a degree of integration into a more modern westernised culture, such as developing written language and learning to read and write.
It overturned the more concessionary attitude of ex-President George Washington that aimed for ‘acculturation’ after debate with the Indian Nations. Even in those distant times, there was heated debate in congress with such famous names as the future president Abraham Lincoln and Davy Crockett speaking out against it. Now it is considered with serious negativity by all involved.
