每天一篇“今日美史”，提炼和总结历史在今天发生的重要事件：谁，在哪里，什么时候，做了什么，这件事为什么重要，以及在写关于什么主题的论文的时候可以作为潜在的论据引用。 每天30秒，轻松积累史实 为AP美国历史拿5分打下坚实基础 Where：The U.S. State DepartmentWhat：The U.S. State Department angrily accused the Soviet Union of shooting down an American jet that strayed into East German airspace, which resulted in the death of three U.S. officers aboard the plane. The Soviets responded with charges that the flight was a “gross provocation.” The incident was an ugly reminder of the heightened East-West tensions of the Cold War era. Like many other similar incidents during the Cold War, this event resulted in heated verbal exchanges between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but little else. Both sides had bigger issues to contend with: the U.S. was engaged in the Vietnam War, and the Soviet Union was dealing with a widening split with China. However, the deaths do serve as a reminder that the heated suspicion, heightened tension, and loaded rhetoric of the Cold War did have the potential to erupt into meaningless death and destruction.
