Satisfactory Essays

Time Period - The Berlin Airlift was effective at the end of World War II, 1948 to 1949. This topic was covered in lecture ten.
Importance - The Berlin Airlift was thought to be a crucial first battle of the Cold War. Americans sent planes over to Berlin, full of needed supplies. These planes landed every minute and were providing the citizens of Berlin with more than they had before the wall went up. This was important because the United States wanted to help Berlin because they were up against Soviet Union. They provided so much to Berlin that Stalin and the Soviet Union called for the blockade to be removed quietly. Stalin did not want others to hear that he had let up on Berlin but he was tired of fighting and knowing that Berlin was strong.
