jun 24, 1948 - Stalin and Soviet forces blockaded Berlin.
Description:
Stalin wanted to secure Berlin, the capital of Germany, so he could spread communism to west Berlin. He cut off traffic with Berlin, highways, railways, water-movement, etc. With no aid, West Berlin had no choice but to fall to communism. Due to this, the U.S. and Britain supplied them with air transports of goods and weapons.Added to timeline:
