<em>B. Soviet building of the Berlin Wall.</em>
Explanation:
After World War II ended, Germany got split up amongst the Allied powers. The United States, France, and Great Britain got West Germany, while the Soviet Union got East Germany.
The Soviet Union centered around communism, so East Germany had a communist government. Many Germans realized they did not want to obey and live under this government and wanted to flee. East Germans started leaving and moving to West Germany.
Over time, East Germany started to become fearful that too many people were leaving and decided they needed to do something about it. They built the Berlin Wall that was heavily guarded and hundreds of people ended up dying trying to get through.
This was the first cause of tension between the Soviet Union and President Kennedy. Both John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan gave speeches about the wall and how horrible it was.
Wilson's plan for world peace was called his "14 Points." It failed because the Treaty of Versailles did not implement most of his ideas, and the US Senate did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles because of the League of Nations (which was Wilson's idea).

<u>Context/detail:</u>
President Woodrow Wilson thought that some of the very things that were adopted in the Treaty of Versailles could lead to another war -- and they did. The Treaty of Versailles included various ideas that went against Wilson's plans for peace. The treaty was very punitive towards Germany. Germany was forced to admit responsibility for causing the Great War (World War I). We now call that "the war guilt" clause of the treaty. The German military had major restrictions imposed on it -- it had to be a volunteer military only, of no more than 100,000 men, and they could not have an air force. Germany also was forced to pay large reparation payments to the Allies (who opposed Germany in the war).
US President Wilson had come into the Paris Peace Conference with other views. Wilson had set forth his views in a speech he delivered to Congress in January, 1918, his "14 Points" speech. The 14 Points were his proposals for how to end the Great War (World War I) and establish international peace. Especially key to his ideas was point #14 - the establishment of an international organization to promote and preserve peace.
The Treaty of Versailles did adopt Wilson's 14th point, which led to the formation of the League of Nations. But back home in the US, Republicans in the Senate feared that commitment to a League of Nations could commit the US to future wars that were not directly related to US national security. Because of its objections to membership in the League of Nations, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles. Without the USA in the League of Nations, that organization was weakened and did not have much success.
