The imaginary line that divided the Western European

countries from the Eastern European countries after World

War II was known as the

• prime meridian

• line of demarcation

• Iron Curtain

• Berlin Wall

The political climate of the Cold War caused the world’s two

superpowers to

One reason for the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961

was to

• promote reunification of East Germany and West Germany

• keep East Germans from fleeing to the Western sector of Berlin

• complete the post–World War II rebuilding of Berlin

• meet the requirements of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

The Soviet Union's response to the formation of the North

Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was to create the

• European Union

The goal of Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies of perestroika and

glasnost was to

• resume development of Soviet nuclear weapons

• stimulate economic growth and political discussion

• stop expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into Eastern Europe
