During the cold war, which was the first test of strength between USA and USSR ?
Answer: B
The first test of strength was the Berlin Blockade.
In June 1948 the Soviet Union cut off road, rail and canal access to the western sectors of Berlin to force the Western powers out of the city. The United States and Britain responded with the Berlin Airlift, flying supplies in until the USSR lifted the blockade in May 1949. It was the first major confrontation of the Cold War and led to the formation of NATO and the division of Germany.
The Korean War began later, in 1950, and the Cuban Missile Crisis came in 1962. The Polish question was a point of tension at the end of the war, but not a direct test of strength between the two powers.
