How did the western countries respond to the Berlin blockade?
The great Berlin Airlift. A rather dramatic logistics undertaking that saw enough food and other supplies flown in to keep the population alive, if not happy.
How did the Berlin airlift start?
The Berlin Airlift occurred after World War 2. When Germany surrendered, the four major countries of the Allies were placed in charge as occupation forces. The four countries were USA, Britain, France and Russia. The country was divided up into sectors and placed under the control of each country and the capitol city of Berlin was also divided. Later, Russia began to isolate the territories under their rule, including other border countries. This divided Germany and eventually Russia erected a wall that was known as the "Iron Curtain" along the border. Since the city of Berlin was within the region occupied by Russia, the sectors of the city that was under the rule of US, Britain and France were cut off from the other regions of Germany to the west, which still had some freedom. The Soviet Prime Minister wanted to exert complete control, so he closed the only road that connected the part of Berlin that was free from the remaining West Germany. The US and the other allies didn't want Russia to take complete control over Berlin, so they sent food and supplies into Berlin by air---thus the Berlin Airlift.
When the Soviets blockaded Berlin in hopes of driving their former allies out how did the Americans and British respond?
The U.S response to the Soviet blockade was sending srms to Berlin by planes, therefor allowing them to fight back. The United States along with Britain and other countries send food, supplies, etc. They had continued this for about a year.
What was life like for Germany during Berlin airlift?
The biggest thing that changed German life was the wall, before the wall was built East and West Germans were able to visit each other's countries. After the wall was built, they were cut off from each other. The airlift affected Germans in a positive way because they were isolated from each other and needed supplies. While Stalin supported the East, the US supported the West via the airlift.
Does Berlin border 3 countries?
No, Berlin is near the centre of Germany and borders no other countries
When russia cut off western supply routes to berlin the us and great britain responded with the berlin airlift true false?
True. The Berlin Airlift was a direct response to the USSR cutting off supply routes. By doing this, the U.S. and Great Britain were able to get supplies to people in need who wouldn't have gotten them any other way.
What were other countries views on the Berlin Wall?
Not sure...
Explain why airlift was used during the Soviet blockade of Berlin rather than the other options available to national leaders?
The obvious other options were: 1. War between the West and the Soviet Union. 2. A negotiated settlement, which would probably have involved swapping West Berlin for a part of the Soviet Zone, say Thuringia. Neither option was attractive.
What activity did the allies undertake to continue to supply the German people?
After WWII? The Berlin Airlift dropped food and other supplies on East Berlin which was at the time controlled by the Soviet Union. The Marshall Plan also helped to rebuild Europe's economy.
What was the Berlin airlift and why was it needed?
The Berlin Airlift was a military operation designed to provide food and supplies to the city of Berlin from 1948-1949. After World War II, German and the city of Berlin were divided into four sections, each controlled by a separate power: the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. Berlin was in the Soviet section of German and the Soviet Union wanted to take complete control of Berlin, so they blocked all of the roads and railways into Western Berlin in order to force the other nations to abandon the city. In response, the Western governments began flying supplies into the city in order to circumvent the Soviet blockade.
