Because the U.S. proved its readiness to protect West Berlin as far back as the 1948 blockade, later American muscle-flexing quickly persuaded the Kremlin to back down from efforts to instigate crises. In 1961, by rushing U.S. tanks to the Brandenburg Gate and calling up reserve units, President Kennedy forced Nikita Khrushchev to abandon his plans to change the status of the divided city...
