The two superpowers involved were the USA and the USSR
these two became bitter rivals after the defeat of Germany in WWII
On one hand the USA wanted to start slowly giving them a second chance
But on the other hand the USSR wanted to completely destroy Germany and claim the land for themselves
What happened?
When the Russians drove the Germans out of Eastern Europe they imposed pro-Russian Communist Governments
They did this to ensure they wouldn't be invaded from the West again
But the Western countries saw this as a move of Soviet aggression
in 1947 President Truman declared that the USA would help any country trying to contain the spread of communism
Known as the Truman Doctrine
After WWII the allied powers split Germany into 4 sections
The British zone
The Soviet zone
The French zone
The US zone
Each ruled by the countries they are named after
The USA, Britain and France were trying to build back up the economy of the parts of Germany they ruled
Wheras the USSR wanted to completely destroy Germany and make another communist country
So to ensure there is never a strong Germany again they built a wall through Germany
The Western allies didn't like this so they decided to help the people on the other side of the wall, This was called the Berlin Airlift
This was when the USA sent over food and supplies to the people in need on the other side
Stalin saw that he could not win so he lifted the blockade in May of 1949
