The answer is the outcome of the 1961 Vienna Summit.

During june 3, 1961 President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev met in Vienna for a two-day summit. However, the summit did not go well since Khrushchev took a particularly harsh stance over Berlin, a Western enclave within communist-controlled East Germany, where the United States, Britain and France had maintained a symbolic military presence since the German defeat in World War II. with the failed summit to create peace, the East Germans began building a wall that quickly divided Berlin in two.
