Only one month into his presidency, Richard Nixon had all ready began travels in Europe to help strengthen the Trans-Atlantic power of NATO. Nixon headed to Berlin in February, in order to show its citizens that they are not the only ones going through a feeling of loneliness especially after the construction of the Berlin Wall. Nixon was met with much acclaim throughout the day as he stopped at numerous areas in order to shake hands with parade watchers (As seen in the picture above). The trip was overall a success to Nixon, whom was worried of being overcastted by the shadow Kennedy left years before.
