Berlin Blockade & Airlift (26 jun 1948 ano – 12 maio 1949 ano)

Descrição:

The Soviet Union blocked the United States, Great Britain and France from traveling to their respective Western sectors of the city of Berlin, which lay entirely inside Russian-occupied East Germany.

Some of 2.5 million civilians had no access to food, medicine, fuel, electricity, and other basic goods.

Western powers began an airlift that lasted nearly a year and delivered vital supplies and relief to West Berlin.

The Allies responded with a massive airlift, which supplied the city with food, fuel, and other essential goods.

In the end, the USSR failed to force the Western powers out of Berlin.
