nov 10, 1958 - Khrushchev Ultimatum (November 10, 1958)
Description:
On November 10, 1058, Nikita Khrushchev made a speech where he demanded the withdrawal of US, British, and French troops from West Berlin in six months. This event is significant because it demonstrated the Soviet reaction to the presence of American nuclear warheads in West Germany, and was also partly to build up East Germany as a satellite state of the USSR.Added to timeline:
