Answer:

First, because it was in the Cold War, and Russia's attempt to isolate its side from the Capitalist side was seen as normal thing, and America proud itself to not took any military action. And second, because no one could imagine what Berlin Wall would become in the following years. It was 1961. Who could think that the structure would turn into an oppression symbol?

Explanation:

We have to understand this point in the context of the Cold War. Germany was separated into two sides, and people from both sides were trying to pass to the other. The built of a wall was seen as something normal, and acceptable. But just the fact that Russia took this decision and made a step ahead, this was to the Americans the proof that Communism was an oppressor and bad political system that doesn't' accept individual freedom.

What factors led to the growing economic crisis in farming?

solniwko [45]

In the 70's there had been e tremendous raise in grain exports to the Soviet Union, resulting in a steady rise in grain prices, which had led to banks readily offering loans at low interest rates and to farmers investing heavily and getting heavily into debt. All this investment however led to overproduction and consequently to a drop in grain prices and then, to a drop in land values.At the same time, interest rates went up, adding to the farmer's costs while revenues went down. On top of that, as a reaction to Russia's invasion of Afganistan the US President instituted a grain embargo to the Soviet Union. That meant that a major market for US grain disappeared overnight. The Russians started buying their grain elsewhere, meaning that even after the embargo was lifted US farmers could not realize anything like their former export volumes or prices.
