The natural barriers around the Fertile Crescent are the deserts and the mountains.
The people that migrated in the Fertile Crescent, in what is known as Mesopotamia, moved in there because it was the only place that had nice conditions for living and prosper. The Mesopotamia region was between two very big rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These two rivers were flooding each year and creating a new very fertile soil, which allowed the people to be engaged in agriculture and have a stable food source, and also to have a stable fresh water source.
On the other hand, the deserts and the mountains, were not providing these condition. The deserts are too dry, there's not enough food and water, and life is extremely hard and has to be in a nomadic style. The mountains are very restrictive in what they offer and in how big of a part of the year. While the summers might be good and provide nice living conditions, the winters are very cruel and can bring death very easily.
You have to choose something like the Berlin Airlift for example, and you need to explain how it reflected the us policy of containment.
Be sure to add the bolded parts
here is some information you could use for the article you need to write--
<span> --The Berlin Airlift came about as a
result of an economic crisis and an attempt by the West to introduce a
new currency to stabilize the country’s finances.
The Russians closed
access to the Western-controlled sectors of Berlin, threatening to
starve the people in those sectors unless the Allies withdrew their
currency plans.
Since ground and rail transportation routes were blocked
by the Communists, the west flew planes into West Berlin with food and
supplies, starting in June of 1948.
By the following spring, more
supplies were reaching the city than had previously arrived by rail, and
the Soviets ended the blockade in May of 1949. None of this changed the
boundaries or lowered tensions much.
--</span>
The West, primarily the U.S.
simply maintained the status quo with their policy of containment so
that Communism didn’t speak significantly into other parts of the world.
The freedom of West Berlin was an example of the will of the West to
maintain that containment.

<span>The thinking at the time was that,
if South Viet Nam fell to the Communists in the North, then the other
countries in the region would “fall like dominoes.” (</span><span>the domino theory)

Answer:
Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea
Explanation:
The Dardanelles have been of great strategic importance for a very long time, and they still continue to be. Stalin wanted to get it under his control because it was going to put the Soviet Union in an excellent situation, be it economically or military. The importance of the Dardanelles is so big because it is the place that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Black Sea. Also, it is also the place that separates Europe and Asia, and of the most important trading routes. Despite the interest Stalin had, it never came to a situation that the Soviets attacked to capture this place.

Because immigrants were not safe and were not treated good at that time
