Question

episode 3: airlift, nato/warsaw & com. in china cfu
the soviet union set up the ___ in response to efforts from the west to unify germany.

• iron curtain
• berlin airlift
• berlin blockade
• german democratic republic

Explanation:

When Western powers moved to unify West Germany, the Soviet Union responded by establishing a separate socialist state in the eastern part of Germany. The Iron Curtain was a metaphor for the division of Europe, not a specific entity set up by the USSR in this context. The Berlin Airlift was a Western response to the Soviet blockade, and the Berlin Blockade was a Soviet action to block access to West Berlin, not a state created in response to German unification efforts.

Answer:

D. German Democratic Republic
