Berlin Blockade/ Berlin airlift (jun 24, 1948 – may 12, 1949)
Description:
Russia’s response to the merger of the French, USA and UK partitions of Berlin was to cut all road and rail links to that sector. This meant that those living in Western Berlin had no access to food supplies and faced starvation. Food was brought to Western Berliners by US and UK airplanes, an exercise known as the Berlin Airlift.
Ended in May 12- Russia ended the blockade of Berlin.
