How did the Berlin Aircraft intensify the cold war?

The Berlin "Airlift" put the US Forces on wartime alert, as we were not sure of Soviet intentions...if they were going to use their military or not.


What is strategy did Truman use to get good shipped into Berlin?

Following the closure of land access to West Berlin in 1948 by Stalin the Americans, French and British organised the provision of supplies by aeroplane. This was known as "The Berlin Airlift".


What is an airlift?

It's when people use airplanes to carry people or supplies somewhere. In the context of Germany and the Cold War, it was when, in 1948-1949, the Soviets blockaded West Berlin in an attempt to starve the people into surrendering and joining them. The USA, UK and some Commonwealth countries conducted the "Berlin Airlift", where they used airplanes to bring supplies to West Berlin- thereby thwarting the Soviet effort.


What one kind of plane was commonly use by the US during the airlift?

The plane most used to transport goods to the beleageared city of Berlin was the Douglas DC-3 or its military equivalent, the C-47. On the commemerative Berlin Airlift stamp is a famous picture of a C-47---or DC-3.


How was Joseph Stalin involved in the Berlin Airlift?

He was the reason the Berlin Airlift took place. Berlin was in the Soviet sector of post-war Germany, but Berlin itself was divided much like the country. Stalin was upset with the Western alliance (U.S., Britain, and France) for producing the London Programme. The London Programme outlined the creation of a Western German state. Stalin stopped all rail, water and road traffic to and from Berlin in hope that the London Programme would be halted. This was legal because the Western alliance did not put in writing the free access to their respective sector of Berlin. The choices were to use military forcce to break the blockade of airlift all the supplies. Since no economy could support another world war they chose to airlift all the goods to Berlin. This disheartened Stalin and he eventually lifted the blockade of Berlin.


In 1948 when the Soviets closed all railways and roads leading to Berlin what method did President Truman use to deliver needed aid to Berlin?

President Truman responded to the blockade by sending planeloads of much-needed supplies to West Berlin. For more information on the Berlin Airlift consult the online Truman Library and Museum by following the link below.


The soviets response to the containment policy of Truman's adminstration was the Berlin blockade imposed by Stalin in 1948 What was this blockade?

Stalin imposed a blockade on Berlin for 11 months in an attempt to drive the Western Powers control out of West Berlin. As Berlin was in the Soviet bloc of Germany, he closed off all access to West Berlin so no resources could get through. this included food, coal for electricity etc.. The West Powers did not allow this to stop them and used the three air corridors, which they were still able to use, to supply West Berlin will all it needed. It was a massive airlift with planes flying into West Berlin constantly. After 11 months, Stalin saw that the Western Powers were not budging and ended the blockade. hope that helps!
