At the Vienna Summit in June, 1961, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev started a crisis by reissuing a threat he had previously made during the Eisenhower administration, that he would sign a separate peace agreement with East Germany which would effectively end access to West Berlin for American, British and French powers. The powers replied there was no one that could deny them access to West Berlin. President Kennedy undercut his position by agreeing to the permanent division of Berlin. Unfortunately, it made his later, stronger statements on the issue less credible to the Russians.

How do you you get to Berlin Germany from Berlin New Hampshire?

If I was going to go to Berlin, Germany, from Berlin, New Hampshire, I would first travel to Boston's Logan Airport. From there you can go in three ways: You can do a one-stop from Logan to Berlin--it looks like either Helsinki or Shannon, Ireland, are your best bets. You can do a two-stop through JFK which will take you to Europe through either Dusseldorf or Frankfurt. Or you can fly to JFK then straight to Berlin, but that's the most expensive route. The route I'd take would be dependent on three things: whether I needed to do anything in New York City before heading overseas, how fast I needed to get to Berlin, and whether I wanted to go sightseeing in another European city first. If you were going from, say, Spokane to Berlin--I've done this one a few times--I used to like to fly from Spokane through Minneapolis into LaGuardia, then take a bus from LGA to JFK, then fly JFK to either Frankfurt or Hamburg and from there into Berlin Tegel, but that was a long time ago and things are different now.

How did John F. Kennedy handle the Berlin crisis?

Your question is vague, so the only crisis dealing with Berlin that I can think of would be the Berlin airlift. If this is the case JFK was not in office in 1949. He wasn't elected president until 1960. If you mean the Cuban crisis that is a different story.
