- Berlin Airlift
- After World War II, Germany was divided into
different zones; one zone was the Soviet- zone and
three other zones were for the United States, Britain,
and France. The capital of Germany, Berlin, was also
divided into four sections. The Soviet Union wanted
Berlin all for themselves. They closed all railroads,
highways, and canals from Western Germany to
Western Berlin. This tactic, they believed, would drive
out Britain, France, and the US out of the city for
good. The US and allies decided to use an airlift to
bring in supplies. This event was called the Berlin
Airlift and it lasted for over year. .
