Answer:

secondary source

Explanation:

An encyclopedia entry about the Battle of Gettysburg is considered a secondary source of information.

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point.

An encyclopedia is considered a secondary and even tertiary source. It is secondary because it does not include first-hand account of the (historical) events, and it is considered tertiary because it mostly quotes/cites other secondary sources such as journals, newspaper articles, books etc.

A primary source consists of only first-hand accounts of the experiences and events.

A secondary source consists of analyses, critical essays about first-hand accounts (primary sources).

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The Berlin Wall was built:

D. by closing the border overnight and immediately beginning construction.

Explanation:

The closing of the border was literally carried out overnight. East German soldiers laid down, on the night of August 12-13 of 1961, over 30 miles of barbed wire. Then, only two days afterward, authorities began the construction of the wall that would stay up for 28 years. The Berlin Wall was probably one of the most important symbols - and certainly a very real, tangible one - of the Cold War.
