Question

eisenhower quiz
what was one consequence of the u-2 incident in 1960?
○ heightened cold war tensions
○ increased military funding
○ decreased tensions between the u.s. and soviet union
○ the end of the arms race

Explanation:

The U - 2 incident in 1960 involved a US spy plane being shot down over the Soviet Union. This event led to a breakdown in diplomatic relations and an escalation of tensions between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. "Increased military funding" was not a direct consequence of this specific incident. "Decreased tensions" is incorrect as the incident worsened relations. "The end of the arms race" is also incorrect as the arms race continued for many years after. So the correct consequence is heightened Cold War tensions.

Answer:

A. Heightened Cold War tensions
