“Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall", also known as the Berlin Wall Speech, was a speech delivered by United States President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on June 12, 1987. Reagan called for the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open the Berlin Wall, which had separated West and East Berlin since 1961. The name is derived from a key line in the middle of the speech: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Though it received relatively little media coverage at the time, it became widely known in 1989 after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Speech:
Arriving in Berlin on Friday, June 12, 1987, President and Mrs. Reagan were taken to the Reichstag, where they viewed the wall from a balcony. Reagan then made his speech at the Brandenburg Gate at 2:00 pm, in front of two panes of bulletproof glass. Among the spectators were West German President Richard von Weizsäcker, Chancellor Helmut Kohl, and West Berlin Mayor Eberhard Diepgen.
That afternoon, Reagan said,
We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev...Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Later on in his speech, President Reagan said, "As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner, 'This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.' Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom."
Another highlight of the speech was Reagan's call to end the arms race with his reference to the Soviets' SS-20 nuclear weapons, and the possibility "not merely of limiting the growth of arms, but of eliminating, for the first time, an entire class of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth."
Hope it is the one
The correct answer is C) Moscow.
<em>The capital city of an allied power during World War II was Moscow</em>.
Moscow is the capital city of Russia, one of the Allied powers during World War II. Rome is the capital city of Rome, and during World War II, Italy was part of the Axis, supporting Germany. Vienna is the capital city of Austria, and Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden, and both countries were not part of the Allied powers during World War II.
Hamilton favored a country modeled after Great Britian. He was a strong proponent of centralized power and a central bank for the country. Jefferson had a vision of an agrarian society, a country of farmers. He did not like the idea of being oppressed by a government, especially with the revolution happening in his lifetime. He opposed a central bank, fervently.
Isolationism.
President James Monroe has instituted a policy of US withdrawal from Europeans. This was because, according to Monroe, Europe intended to resume the colonization process.
The president's ideology became known as The Monroe Doctrine, according to which "the American continents, by virtue of the free and independent condition they have acquired and preserved, can no longer be considered in future as susceptible to colonization by any European power."
It was in this context that Monroe said his celebrated phrase: America for the Americans.
