The correct answer is B. President Kennedy's response to the construction of the Berlin Wall led the Soviet Union to believe that Kennedy would back down if confronted.

The Western reaction to the construction of the wall was slow: 20 hours passed until the appearance of military forces on the border; 40 hours until they communicated with the Soviet commander of Berlin; 72 hours until they protested at Moscow's diplomacy. There were more and more rumors that the Soviets had assured the Western allies that they would not threaten their rights. The experience of the blockade had shown the allies that West Berlin was threatened, so the construction of the wall was a material confirmation of the status quo.

Kennedy claimed that Berlin was a "free state" and sent a reinforcement brigade of 1500 men to West Berlin. The leader of the GDR Walter Ulbricht even determined the control on the part of the Border and Popular Police on the allied officers and police, which produced a strong rejection, in particular on the part of the Americans.

Which is most negatively affected by erosion, climate change, and acid rain?

murzikaleks [220]

The correct answer is:

-> Habitants

Erosion and acid rain, even though they are a natural phenomena, they has intensified more with climate change and global warming. This directly affects people's lives in many ways. Cultures are little affected when they need to change habits in order to adapt to it.

Because of the big industries (business), with all their emission of gases, there have been all these natural events and eventually global warming. Municipalities are often affected when they do not have enough infrastructure to withstand the floods of many rains. In the end, those who suffer most are the citizens living in these cities
