Abstract

This presentation will be about how the Kennedy Administration played a major part in giving the Soviets a reason to build the Berlin Wall. To prove the reasoning for this, it will be backed up by looking at major events during the Cold War: the Vienna Summit, the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the tensions surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis. Primary sources are used whenever possible to support the argument presented.
