Answer 1

Students' handling of this question will depend largely on how they view the nature of the Soviet threat. Students who believe that Soviets were engaged in a plan for world domination will credit the Kennedy Administration for blocking its efforts. Those who are dubious about the extent of this threat will point to the Berlin crisis (which left the city divided by a wall) and the Cuban Missile Crisis (which took the United States closer to the brink of nuclear war than during the Eisenhower Administration).

Answer 2
