Sagot :

C., to respond to Stalin's direct threat to attack West Germany.

Answer:

C is the correct option

Explanation:

The Americans, British, French, and Russians held territories of Germany after the second world war. It was divided into East and West Germany. West Germany became a NATO member in 1955. The United States believed that it was important to re militarize West Germany to set up a defensive perimeter against possible soviet expansion. Immediately after West Germany became NATO member, Soviet Russia signed the Warsaw pact with Eastern European states including East Germany.
