The United States and The U. S. S. R The United States and The U.S.S.R. (Soviet Union) became the major world superpowers after WWII.

Example: Germany after WWII Conflicts were fought through “satellite” or dependent countries. Example: Germany after WWII

B E R L I N

Berlin Blockade and Airlift

Berlin Blockade and Airlift Western powers unified three western zones and replaced old German currency with stable currency March 1948

Berlin Blockade and Airlift Soviets closed road, rail and water ways and cut off supplies to western Berlin in June 1948 The United States flew in supplies to Western Berlin May 12, 1949 Stalin stops the blockade for fear of nuclear retaliation

The Soviets launched balloons into flight paths and ordered their pilots to fire into the air around Allied planes

Berlin Wall 1961-1989 A physical barrier completely dividing West Berlin (West Germany) from East Berlin (East Germany). The borders of Germany symbolize the Iron Curtain between Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc.

Background Info: Don’t Copy!! Between 1949 and 1961, about 2.5 million East Germans fled to West Germany. To help stop this, East Germany decided to build a wall around West Berlin and West Germany. The wall stretched 28 miles across Berlin and 75 miles around West Berlin. The Berlin Wall quickly became one of the most notorious symbols of the Cold War.
