Question

Read the passage from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech.

Perhaps this gets to the root of the matter, to the most fundamental distinction of all between East and West. The totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship. The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront.

Who is Reagan’s intended audience for this part of his speech?

American historians and educators
European trade unionists
democratic Germans
free markets in the South Pacific

Answer 1

C. Democratic Germans

Explanation:

• This speech was given 12 June 1987 by Ronald Reagan, the then US President. Reagan had challenged Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet leader to tear down the wall which separated Communist East Germany from the western enclave in Berlin. In the year August 1961, the East Germans, with support from Moscow, had built the wall to stop their people from leaving for the West.
• Reagan's speech acted as a warning that, following numerous announcements by Gorbachev requesting new alliances with the West, the US wanted to see more action and fewer words from Moscow so as to further reduce Cold War tensions.
